Across
- 3. how green the foliar canopy is
- 4. width of the leaf blade
- 6. foliar connection to a stem and has key morphological characteristics at the leaf-stem connection
- 7. located at the base of the plant, it is the primary growing point of turfgrass with the highest cell development and differentiation
- 10. number of leaf blades or shoots per unit area
- 11. ability of the turfgrass canopy to bounce back in its upright position following compression from equipment or traffic
- 12. underground stems which allow the turfgrass to grow laterally
Down
- 1. consistency of look
- 2. result of the quality of the mower cut or soil evenness
- 5. aboveground stems growing along the ground surface which allows the turfgrass to grow laterally
- 8. ability of a turfgrass canopy to support play or the weight of an object, such as a golf ball sitting on the canopy
- 9. soil’s ability to resist compaction or compression of soil particles, which will make it challenging to grow turfgrass
