Growth potential of cool season and warm season turf at different average air temperatures

January 1, 2004

Average air temperatures are based on 30 year normal average monthly air temperature data obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Growth potential values for warm and cool season turf were determined by using the Turfgrass Growth Model developed by the PACE Turfgrass Research Institute (March, 2000 PACE Insights). The variance in the equation below is set to 10 for cool season turfgrasses and 12 for warm season turfgrasses.
