Using morning and afternoon VWC measurements to find the site specific crop coefficient #TurfHacks

One of the things you can do when you are able to express soil water content as a depth of water, and vice versa, is to express the water loss rate from the soil divided by the reference evapotranspiration. Now you've got a rough estimate of a site specific crop coefficient.

I explained how to do that in this post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/hourly-evapotranspiration-soil-water-content-and-crop-coefficient/

What is The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods?

I discuss ATC blog posts, with supplementary information, stories, and the reasons why I thought the topic was worth writing about, and worth reading about. Thus, a doublecut of these topics. This covers grass selection, playability, and all the work done to create a certain type of turfgrass surface.
