Maximum N rates that work when linked to growth potential (GP) with Dr. Michael Bekken

The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

I spoke with Michael Bekken about normal nitrogen rates, why they vary so much, why that matters, what a normal N rate linked to growth potential (GP) might be, and greenhouse gas emissions from turfgrass maintenance.

We talked about:

- how to keep up with turf info from ATC and PACE Turf, https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/whats-the-best-way-to-keep-up/
