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.

Surface firmness and soil water content

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods ·

There have been a lot of conversations about soil water content and surface hardness (firmness). I discuss some measurements that I have made, and suggest some of the old posts on the ATC website that discuss this topic.Specific posts discussed

The turf GvX for checking grass growth with Jason Haines

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods ·

2025/04/25

Jason came up with the GvX idea in a flash of inspiration that he describes here. This is the actual growth of the grass compared to the expected growth of the grass, and it has surprising practical implications. We discussed the development and use of the #TurfGvX in this episode.We discussed this blog post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/explaining-gvx/See the GvX screencast video at https://youtu.be/mRJcEhOyxPARead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at

Achieving the lowest possible #OM246 total organic material value is not desirable, because the living plant material is part of the OM measured with this method. I discussed this post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/om246-measures-living-om-too/ @keyakeeper469 and I discussed 8 years of OM246 in https://youtu.be/8B3FQhvSIdIOM246 project page https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/om246/Read more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of

Calculation of the average daily temperature

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods ·

2025/04/17

A common way to calculate average daily temperature is to take the sum of the daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures, and to divide by two. A better statistical approximation of the average temperature is to take measurements made every hour and then to find the mean value of those continuous measurements. This blog post shows a comparison of the three methods for 2024 data at three locations: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/calculating-average-daily-temperature/Read more about

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:

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
