Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Research efforts to improve cultivar quality include selecting for stress tolerance and disease resistance as well as finer leaf texture, a rich green color, and better sward density. Several cultivars included in the 2012 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Tall Fescue Test performed well and showed good brown patch resistance in south central Kansas during the 2016 growing season.

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Evapotranspiration (ET) from turfgrass can be measured directly using lysimeters (LYS), estimated from weather data using models, or approximated using atmometers. Evapotranspiration measurements from LYS were compared with ET estimates from four variations of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) standardized ET equation including the use of: 1) hourly steps of measured net radiation (Rn) (ASCEHM); 2) hourly steps of Rncalculated from global irradiance (ASCEHC); 3) daily steps of measured Rn(ASCEDM); and 4) daily steps of Rncalculated from global irradiance (ASCEDC); ET from …
