The constants are optimum air temperature and a term for variance that controls the shape of the curve as the actual temperature moves away from the optimum temperature. It's a little more complicated than that, because the constants change depending on whether you are making the calculation for cool-season grass, warm-season grass, and on whether you are using the Fahrenheit temperature scale or the Celsius temperature scale.The blog post discussed is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/calculating-gp/PACE Turf climate appraisal forms at: https://www.paceturf.org/journal/climateMore about GP and the variance term at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/what-is-variance-in-growth-potential-equation/Read more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Get ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/Turfgrass information and decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/PACE Turf YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/paceturfATC's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/asianturfgrasscenter","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/lRbiLmoXb-LgrnNf03mBUjkq6r0kU1xO3FxAgB5cQws/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI2MzQ1LzE2Mzc3/NTEwMjMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
