The Grass is Always Greener

Turfgrass is the largest irrigated crop in the U.S. and is often over-watered. USU researchers created a program educating residential, commercial and institutional land owners about water use on turfgrass. The program teaches how much water to apply to grass landscapes, how often to apply it and how to apply it evenly.
