Using #OM246 test results to get net organic material accumulation rate
Listen now
Description
When you know the rate at which organic material is accumulating in the rootzone, you can adjust sand topdressing rates with more precision. You can also start to check how any changes in maintenance can have an effect on the accumulation rate. The blog post discussed is this one: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/inexorable-rise-soil-organic-matter/ The Shiny app to calculate the accumulation rate is: https://asianturfgrass.shinyapps.io/om246/ You can learn all about OM246 tests at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/om246/ Read more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Get ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/Turfgrass information and decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/PACE Turf YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/paceturfATC's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/asianturfgrasscenter If you'd like to attend the 15th International Turfgrass Research Conference in Japan, here's a direct link to the conference website: https://itrc2025.turfsociety.com/

You can expect soil organic matter to be 5% nitrogen, and you can expect from 1 to 4% of that organic nitrogen to mineralize in one year. You can also calculate estimated daily mineralization and sum it to get weekly, monthly, and annual totals. The blog post discussed is:...
