SSTRI- Testing for Organic Matter

摘要

How can you accurately tell if your thatch and organic matter levels are where they need to be to ensure good all-round green performance? What is the best way to gauge the frequency and type of de-thatching operations needed for any one situation? Can the amount of thatch/organic matter be measured and monitored as well as setting optimum target values to work to, thus avoiding any potential secondary problems due to thatch getting out of control? Is it possible to monitor thatch/organic matter totell if levels have increased and/or reduced in any one year? The answers will be provided to all of these questions if you are using STRI's organic matter testing service as part of your ongoing management programme.
