Description
Maggie Reiter joined me to discuss how the start (and end) of the turfgrass maintenance season might be predicted. When is spring green-up? When does the season end?
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 see the maps of species use, at: https://doi.org/10.1002/cft2.20160The 15th International Turfgrass Research Conference will be held in July 2025 at Karuizawa, Japan: https://itrc2025.turfsociety.com/See our previous conversation about ecoregions at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP3XmNyDN6sBlack sand topdressing in Iceland to increase temperature: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/turfgrass-mystery-the-case-of-the-greener-grass/

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. Links to the articles discussed are in the blog post.
