Growth potential concept spreads around the globe

We developed the growth potential concept in 2004 to explain myriad of ways in which weather affects the growth, nutrient requirements and stress levels of both cool and warm season turf varieties. Since then, turf managers, researchers and others in the turf industry from around the world — from Armagh, Ireland to Zhengzhou, China —have integrated this model into their work. Some examples are listed below.

- Using temperature to predict turfgrass growth potential and to estimate turfgrass nitrogen use,…
