| Abstract/Contents: | "Theory predicts that when grass is mowed higher it should be a few degrees cooler. This theory was tested by mowing a mixed Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass turf at 1/2", 1 1/2" and unmowed at 4" and temperatures were measured with an infra-red temperature sensing device. At noon the taller 4" grass was 67° F, 11° below the air temperature of 78°. The short 1/2" grass was 83° or 5° above air temperature; and the intermediate 1 1/2" grass was 79°. Interestingly, the hottest thing in our landscape was our golf tee of plastic "turf." It was 125°F, 46° hotter than the air temperature." |
