Which Grass Survives Water Restrictions? Science Has the Answer.
On this episode of Turfgrass Epistemology, we dive into a long-term study that puts warm-season turfgrasses to the test under real-world municipal water restrictions. Which species held up best when irrigation was limited to once or twice a week? How do turf quality, coverage, and drought resilience stack up over time?

Join me as we examine what the science actually says—not the marketing claims—about how Zoysia, Bermuda, and other species perform under regulated irrigation frequencies. This research has big implications for homeowners, sports fields, golf courses, and city planners facing tighter water policies.

If you care about turf performance under drought pressure, this is the video you don’t want to miss.
