Reference Ranges: A Novel Interpretation of Turfgrass Nutrient Values

Abstract: Core Ideas Plant tissue tests are interpreted using yield as a metric. Turfgrass value is commonly measured using quality. Reference ranges identify “normal” nutrient ranges by using turf quality as a metric. Reference ranges should be considered as an alternative tissue test interpretation. Tissue testing is a common practice in turfgrass management and is intended to guide nutrient applications. However, standard interpretations are a product of agricultural cropping systems and use yield as the primary me… Show more

“…However, if yield is of primary importance, then any of these methods of determining sufficiency ranges is useful (Table 1). The fifth method, referred to as 'reference ranges, ' provides the range of nutrients that exist within 95% of healthy turfgrass populations (Shaddox et al 2017). This method may be considered applicable to most turfgrasses because it utilizes turf quality as the primary metric rather than yield.…”
