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.

2024/06/26

Soil P, pH, and salinity are a few things that likely vary by depth in your rootzone. I've started recommending that 20% of putting greens tested be done with a sample divided at the 5 cm depth. Send the lab a 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm depth sample from that green, rather than the standard 0-10 cm depth sample.

We discussed, and showed charts of growth potential and temperature, from this post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/maps-of-average-temperatures-in-the-usa/The Sunday Lawn Care plansWe discussed the article "An examination of turfgrass species use on golf course putting greens" by Brosnan et al., which you can read, and

I discuss small plot university research with fixed treatments vs. golf course and sports turf maintenance with treatments that vary, and consider which results we should trust more. I also discuss the bobble test after 270 rounds, mention that core sweepers are a nice machine, and explain how I estimate N harvested in creeping bentgrass clippings.Posts discussed and relevant links include:https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/ball-roll-after-270-rounds/Short bobble test video with T-Jay

T-Jay Creamer joined me to discuss bentgrass & Poa annua (bent-Poa) management with a surprisingly low annual N rate, almost no use of PGRs, and no aeration (other than occasional needle tining) for more than two years. The results surprise me, and they may surprise you too.

In this episode, I discuss sixteen year old bentgrass greens that have also gone sixteen years without P fertilizer. The greens are also free of Poa annua. Then I discuss how fertilizer recommendations made from soil tests are a lot more precise if the time duration over which the fertilizer is being recommended is considered explicitly. And I explain why, when measuring #ClipVol, you will get value from annual totals too.P & Poa with Bob Raley is this post

An example of ample light when temperature limits growth

2024/03/22

This is a follow-up to the episode last week when I mentioned that I was looking at snow outside, that the light would be ample for growth, but the temperatures were below freezing and thus temperature was limiting the growth. I discuss the new blog post that shows those light data.An example of ample DLI: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/an-example-of-ample-dli/The USGA Green Section Record with the fine podcast, frost research, Pat Jones article, and much more:

The combination of light (DLI) and temperature (GP)

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods ·

2024/03/16

The growth potential converts air temperature to a 0 to 1 (or 0 to 100%) scale. Of course, there are a lot more things that affect actual growth, including light, nitrogen, and water. I discuss these and why I'm not so convinced that adding a light factor to GP makes it more useful.The blog post discussed here is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/light-and-gp-again/This calculator finds full sun PPFD and DLI for any location on any date:
