Clipping yield vs growth potetial

View Larger

Alan Dewald (@allan_dewald onTwitter), Assistant Superintendent, Blue Ocean Golf Club, British Columbia, Canada, posted this graph illustrating the relationship between growth potential (GP) and clipping volume.

Nitrogen applied has a great impact of clipping volume. Even when growth potential is high, clipping volume can be restricted by limiting nitrogen. The target is usually somewhere between 10 and 60 ml/m^2 for golf course greens.
