Description
Sinem Zere Taskin and four co-authors fine-tune water and fertilizer for lawn grass under a dry Mediterranean sky, in a 2025 field study. Tall fescue is a workhorse turf grass, but keeping it green costs water and nitrogen, both under pressure. Too little of either and the lawn thins and pales.
The team ran a replicated field trial crossing four watering levels, from a quarter to the full replacement of evaporation, with four nitrogen doses up to five grams per square meter. They tracked turf quality, color, clipping yield, and plant stress signals. The grid of results shows which pairings hold quality while trimming inputs. Parks, sports fields, and home lawns across dry regions face the same trade-off every summer.
