Total organic material, soil organic matter, and screens
About this episode
This episode discusses the testing of soil organic matter and the removal of thatch and mat from turfgrass rootzones.
Thatch and mat at the top of turfgrass rootzones are removed from soils prior to testing for soil organic matter. Total organic material (OM246) testing is designed to measure the soil organic matter plus the thatch and mat.
