Dollar spot and a predictive model, fertilizer recommendation survey, and light that's "missing"

I discuss seeing a lot of dollar spot and checking the probability of a disease epidemic, show the results of a fertilizer recommendation survey, and discuss a ranking system for locations where warm-season grasses grow based on missing light.

Show Notes

This episode discusses dollar spot and the Smith-Kerns model, making fertilizer recommendations as a ratio, and ranking locations for warm-season grasses based on light restriction caused by cloud cover.

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.
