Discover how tall and hard fescue respond to water stress in this deep dive into the science of deficit irrigation. In this episode, we explore a peer-reviewed study that reveals how reduced water inputs affect turf performance, rooting, and drought resilience. If you're managing turf in a water-limited environment, this research has critical insights you don't want to miss.

In this episode of Turfgrass Epistemology, I provide commentary on the scientific article "Effect of Irrigation Frequency on Turf Quality, Shoot Density, and Root Length Density of Five Bentgrass Cultivars." We examine how irrigation intervals influence turfgrass performance, with a focus on shoot density and root development. I discuss the experimental design, key findings, and what this research means for managing bentgrass under varying irrigation regimes. If you're interested in evidence-based turf management, this one's for you.

In this episode of Turfgrass Epistemology, I provide commentary on the scientific article "Irrigation frequency effects on Prizm zoysiagrass establishment from sprigs." We examine how different irrigation intervals influenced establishment speed, coverage, and quality during early growth. I break down the study’s design, highlight the key findings, and discuss how the results apply to real-world turf management decisions—especially for professionals establishing zoysiagrass from sprigs.
