Crop-water stress index models for cool season turfgrasses

Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) technology has shown potential in improving irrigation timing as it determines timing based on the plant's need. Research was conducted to better apply this technology to turf management. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine the complexity of model needed to accurately calculate the CWSI, (ii) to determine if a single model is appropriate across both Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) (KB) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) (CB), and (iii) to evaluate the performance of CB when managed under different CWSI models.
