• K fertilizer recommendations and more with Dr. Frank Rossi
I talked with Frank Rossi today on the ATC Doublecut. You can watch or listen to the show at the links. We discussed potassium (K) fertilizer, and why there are still recommendations for so much more K than the grass can use. There’s a lot of dogma around this topic. Still. Surprisingly so. We’ve talked that over enough times, so we didn’t spend too much time on that. But the ver...2024Check it out Ivy League

• Accumulation rate of soil organic material
When you do OM246 testing to find the total organic material at known depths of the rootzone, you can use those test results to find the net accumulation rate of organic material in the rootzone. This is a useful value to know, because you can then: adjust sand topdressing with more precision check if your grass and growing environment and management practices are causing organic material to accu...2024Click for news about PACE Turf

• SUNY Delhi MLSN discussion
One of the things I’ve tried to explain about MLSN is that simply taking a soil test and comparing the result to the MLSN value is not enough. One also needs to consider how much of an element the grass will use. In a presentation for the Brookside Labs Amplify Network on April 25, and then a discussion with turfgrass students at SUNY Delhi on April 26, I explained why this is, and shared th...2024Read about PACE Turf statistics

• Botanical walks and circle cuts
I made two new videos that you may like to watch. This one shows a circle mowing technique on bentgrass greens that accomplishes a ton of things all at once. These include: the blades are cutting for the entire time because there are no turns off the green this causes a double cut, or more, in different directions, which may be useful in cutting extra leaves and reducing grain because there a...2023

• Tournament diary: KBC Augusta 2023
The 50th KBC Augusta tournament was played from August 24 to 27 at Keya Golf Club in Fukuoka, Japan. This was my ninth KBC Augusta tournament, and during each of these tournaments I’ve shared photos, ideas, and measurements related to the course maintenance work. I did that again at this year’s tournament, with a daily thread on X (formerly known as Twitter). I’m writing this up ...2023

• Ball roll after 270 rounds
T-Jay Creamer is the golf course superintendent at Olympic View GC in Victoria, British Columbia. The greens there are a mix of bentgrass and Poa annua, and as of May 2024 it’s considerably more Poa than bent. When N fertilizer is reduced on Poa surfaces, anthracnose is a big concern. When there’s no aeration on Poa surfaces, slow infiltration rates and soft putting surfaces are a big ...2024

• Monthly maximum N or annual maximum N
I sometimes talk about maximum N. You may have heard me refer to the standard amount of N. I discussed that with Michael Bekken in this ATC Doublecut episode. What do I mean by these quantities of N? There was a question on the ATC YouTube channel about that, asking whether my mentions of a 30 kg/ha or 3 g/m2 value for Poa annua is a monthly or annual amount. The comment might have been deleted, o...2023See also PACE Turf
