Description
You can sometimes, perhaps more often than you would think, find soil under good turf to have lower nutrient content than does soil under poor quality turf. In this episode, I explain why that is, what the implications of this phenomenon are, and what you can do about it.
This blog post has all the details on the turf (and soil) paradox: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/turf-paradox/Henry Qu and I discussed learning, Bayesian analysis, and more in this engaging conversation: https://youtu.be/o4Y4xJt0stU?si=2jQevp6CqKPWR1gi

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.
