Dr. Micah Woods, President of the Asian Turfgrass Center and Director of PACE Turf, revolutionized turfgrass nutrition through the MLSN guidelines based on Mehlich 3 soil test analysis, pioneered clipping volume measurements for growth assessment, and works with temperature-based Growth Potential models for predictive nutrient management across C3 and C4 turfgrass species.
Sands are used for rootzone and topdressing material. Here’s what you need to know about sand properties so you can choose the best sands for your needs and make the necessary adjustments in sand quantities and properties.

Clipping volume is a rapid, practical measurement of grass growth that takes just minutes each day yet transforms how we make management decisions. This presentation covers why volume measurement works better than weight for routine tracking, how to interpret what normal and target clipvol values look like across seasons and for special events, and the practical applications that matter most—adjusting nitrogen based on actual growth, timing topdressing for organic matter management, preparing greens for tournament conditions, and understanding the variation from green to green. The underlying principle is simple: greenkeeping is about controlling growth rate, and you can’t control what you don’t measure. A few minutes with a bucket gives you data that turf managers have described as their most important metric—comparable to working without a weather forecast if they didn’t have it.
