With Micah Woods Ph.D.
Wed, Feb 26, 2:30pm: Grand Hall D

Session Summary

There’s no way to have consistently good playing conditions without organic material in the rootzone at a suitable level. We will show how measurement of the total organic material, using the OM246 method, can be used to develop an optimized management plan for the rootzone organic material at your facility. Specific examples and case studies related to everyday play, annual maintenance plans, and championship week playing conditions will be presented.
