Using the standard growth potential (GP) equation allows direct comparisons from site to site
I used to tell people that GP is just a number, and if they wanted to modify it to fit the way grass grows at their location, then go ahead and do so. I don't say that anymore. Instead, I recommend using the standard equation. Why? To facilitate direct comparisons between sites, knowing that everyone has used the same equation.
