Listen "Constants in the turfgrass growth potential equation"

Episode Synopsis


The PACE Turf growth potential equation has one variable (the actual air temperature) and two constants. The constants are optimum air temperature and a term for variance that controls the shape of the curve as the actual temperature moves away from the optimum temperature. It's a little more complicated than that, because the constants change depending on whether you are making the calculation for cool-season grass, warm-season grass, and on whether you are using the Fahrenheit temperature scale or the Celsius temperature scale.The blog post discussed is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/calculating-gp/PACE Turf climate appraisal forms at: https://www.paceturf.org/journal/climateMore about GP and the variance term at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/what-is-variance-in-growth-potential-equation/ about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Get ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/Turfgrass information and decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/PACE Turf YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/paceturfATC's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/asianturfgrasscenter
