Standard sand amounts | Asian Turfgrass Center TL;DR: 1) Know the standard sand rate recommendations, which range from 6 to 11 mm per year at present 2) Measure the amount of sand you apply 3) Don’t apply the standard amount!

Three recommendations to make sure you are applying just the right amount of sand topdressing. #TurfHacks

World cities plotted by climatological normals, August | Asian Turfgrass Center This bubble chart shows 46 world cities plotted by average temperature, sunshine, and precipitation in August. We see the continuing trend for cities in Asia to have more rain and less sunshine than…

Plotting sunshine hours (or solar radiation) vs. temperature is a good way to identify locations with similar and dissimilar growing environments for turf. #TurfHacks

What if it was never there? | Asian Turfgrass Center I’ve been thinking about this one a lot. It seems obvious that a sward supplied with more nitrogen fertilizer will tend to produce more organic material in the soil. It also seems obvious that a…

If the organic matter doesn't get produced in the first place, we don't need to be as worried about breaking it down, removing it, or diluting it. #TurfHacks #OM246

This is episode 176 and covers PAR from many angles. I encourage all turf managers to become familiar with PAR and what it is (or what is lacking) at your location. #TurfHacks

Speed and firmness discussed from a recent tournament. Also some info here about calculating averages for a set of soil nutrient data when there is a lower limit of 0 but no upper limit #TurfHacks

The geometric mean as the central tendency (average) for soil nutrient data | Asian Turfgrass Center Let’s start with the take home message. Soil nutrient levels vary. When there is a lot of variation, the average as we usually calculate it—as the arithmetic mean—can be higher than other methods of…

Water quality and pesticide performance | Asian Turfgrass Center This is a useful reference from Purdue Extension on water that goes into the spray tank. From the guide: “Water often comprises ninety-five percent (or more) of the spray solution. What affect might…

Here's a useful guide about pesticide performance and water chemistry. I recommend keeping this for reference. #TurfHacks

How to get a quick estimate of grass nutrient use | Asian Turfgrass Center This is an excellent question: “I attended your presentation at the [omitted] conference and had a question regarding MLSN. In the equation a + b - c = Q it’s the “a” part of the equation I am having…

Here is an explanation of an easy way to get an estimate of maximum nutrient use for any grass. #MLSN #TurfHacks

The thumbnail didn't show up, so I'll get right to the point by sharing this chart from that post. You can find the #ClipVol range at which you get the desired green speed. #TurfHacks

Nitrogen rate, pendulum swings, and anchoring | The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods | Episode 163 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…

New #ATC2x episode about pendulum swings in N supply and sand topdressing. Are #ClipVol, #TurfGvX, and #OM246 anything different? I suggest it will take some decades to find out, but I think they are. Also, industry veterans, historical N rates, & more #TurfHacks.

Flipping things around | Asian Turfgrass Center One can look at the growth of the grass, as approximated by the clipping volume, in a couple of ways. There’s the quantity of clippings – here’s how much the grass is growing.

Did you know it's easy to predict the maximum quantity of clippings produced for a known amount of N supplied? #TurfHacks #TurfGvX #ClipVol

Zoysia sod harvest 45 days after planting?!!! | Asian Turfgrass Center Zoysiagrass is especially well-adapted to East and Southeast Asia. In Thailand, the local variety of manilagrass (Zoysia matrella) grows so well that the time from planting to harvest as sod is only…

This has a video and a newsletter article about Zoysia sod harvest only 45 days after planting, and the production method and variety that makes this possible. #TurfHacks

New MLSN cheat sheet | Asian Turfgrass Center I thought it might be useful to summarize the key details of MLSN in a cheat sheet. For people using MLSN, or wanting to use it, this 2 page cheat sheet is intended to be a handy reference.

Even I find myself referring to this #MLSN cheat sheet every now and then. For example, I just did now, to check the MLSN minimums for Olsen and Bray2 phosphorus. You might find this handy sometimes too. #TurfHacks

On the evolution of a [birdie] style | Micah Woods: the official site Someone asked me the other day about birdies, and why I haven’t been sharing them as frequently as I once did.1 It was implied that perhaps I haven’t been making birdies like I used to.

Birdies. Have my caddy (usually) or opponent/playing partner snap a photo. Very manageable. #TurfHacks www.micahwoods.com/post/evoluti...

Concerning the availability of nutrients in soil | Asian Turfgrass Center “What about nutrients in the soil that are not available?” This is a common question. But I’ll admit it is a question that throws me for a bit of a loop, because the very purpose of soil testing is to find the availability of nutrients.

Sometimes people ask about nutrient availability. If you have questions about that, do a soil test. "Chemical soil analysis – soil testing – is a ... rapid and inexpensive procedure for obtaining information on nutrient availability in soils" #TurfHacks

I haven't shared this one for a while. This is what I call the "killer feature" of #OM246 testing. Being able to calculate the OM accumulation rate allows you to find the exact sand topdressing requirement. #TurfHacks vimeo.com/559391502?sh...

If you are measuring #ClipVol, remember to get the annual total too
If you are measuring #ClipVol, remember to get the annual total too YouTube video by Asian Turfgrass Center

I recommend paying attention to the annual total of #ClipVol. This video explains why. Basically, the total amount of aboveground growth is related to playability, soil OM, & nutrients, among other things. #TurfHacks youtu.be/8DdekceL9jE
