Normal organic material at the surface of a green

The expected total organic material in the surface 0 to 2 cm (0 to 0.8 inches) layer of a putting green rootzone is shown with different probability levels in this plot. The curve is a probability density function. The height of the curve at any OM value shows the relative likelihood that a putting green would test at that value of total organic material.

This is based on a database of thousands of OM246 test results from more than ten…
