The temperature-based turfgrass growth potential (GP) in words — not numbers

The temperature-based turfgrass growth potential (GP) is a utility function that expresses the potential of temperature to affect shoot growth. Without going into too many numbers or the GP equation, I explained what GP is and how it is used.

I discussed these posts and shows about GP:
