The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

Asian Turfgrass Center

I discuss ATC blog posts, with supplementary information, stories, and the reasons why I thought the topic was worth writing about, and worth reading about. Thus, a doublecut of these topics. This covers grass selection, playability, and all the work done to create a certain type of turfgrass surface.

Fertilizing grass this way seems strange to me now

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods ·

2025/03/17

Although turf research is often done with fertilizer treatments applied at constant rates and on a fixed calendar schedule, that way of supplying nutrients seems strange to me now. I explain why in this episode, and suggest a better method.We discussed this post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/fertilizer-schedule-seems-strange-to-me-now/Read more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Get ATC newsletters at

Bracketing #ClipVol for a desired range of green speed

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods ·

2025/02/21

Green speed varies because of many factors. One of those factors is clipping volume. I discuss that relationship and give some advice for those getting started with clipping volume and wanting to know how to adjust it.We discussed this blog post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/getting-started-with-clipping-volume/Potassium increases dollar spot? https://www.paceturf.org/memberedition/potassium-increases-dollar-spotThe 2025 International Turfgrass Research Conference:

2025/01/29

Did you know there was a time when up to to 2 lbs N per 1000 square feet per growing month, the equivalent of 100 kg of actual N per ha per month, was a standard recommendation for putting green turf? I talk about this and some implications in this episode.The ATC post getting the double cut treatment is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/nitrogen-rate-as-a-pendulum-swing/I also took a look at the Historical Nitrogen Rates post from PACE Turf at

Constants in the turfgrass growth potential equation

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods ·

2024/11/25

The PACE Turf growth potential equation has one variable (the actual air temperature) and two constants. 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

You can expect soil organic matter to be 5% nitrogen, and you can expect from 1 to 4% of that organic nitrogen to mineralize in one year. You can also calculate estimated daily mineralization and sum it to get weekly, monthly, and annual totals.The blog post discussed is: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/estimating-nitrogen-mineralization-an-example/Subscribe to the Turf Without Borders podcast: https://turfwb.asianturfgrass.com/subscribeRead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at

Linear relationship between #ClipVol and dry weight

2024/11/03

This episode introduces multiple experiments that have demonstrated a link between rapid measurement of clipping volume and the clipping yield. Clipping yield is typically expressed as dry weight per area.
