The knowledge platform aims to develop and structure knowledge about the turf and soil that are so important to our greenkeeping profession. The knowledge platform will be the point of contact for all aspects of knowledge and will be in charge of organising research, discussions, analyses and the management of the collected knowledge. In 2025, the NGF and the NVG will also be connected. They also form the assessment committee for research applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using smaller groups for discussions, topics will be dealt with to enlarge knowledge and understanding. Trials can be organised simultaneously The board will offer support if required..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DGBeheer has a longstanding experience with data collection and the interpretation of data. Much knowledge has been collected for members and a reliable and easy to work with database has been developed. The protocol in use for DGB members is available for the knowledge platform as the standard for measuring and monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to join, active commitment of the individual participants is required, because that sets the success of our common mission. Data collection is an essential part of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data in the library obtained from trials or tests remain the property of participants and are shared only permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dgbbeheer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dgbbeheer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1024x686.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dgbbeheer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-1024x686.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dgbbeheer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dgbbeheer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-768x514.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dgbbeheer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/www.dgbbeheer.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 1426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The knowledge platform is chaired by a steering group<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four subject matter experts have been found willing to support the development and functioning of the knowledge platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Division of tasks of steering group members<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Koert Donkers: repr NGA<br>Flip Wirth: repr DGB<br>Erik Jan Beenackers: repr NVG<br>Alexander de Vries en Jannes Landkroon: repr NGF<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Knowledge portal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A knowledge portal will be established and a library will be supported<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This will be part of the NGA website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Management tasks will be added when the situation demands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact with the knowledge platform<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The email address of the steering committee is <a href=\"mailto:DGB@NGAgolf.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hp.wirth@dgbeheer.nl<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is the intention of the group to launch a newsletter soonest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Discussion groups\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use of wetting agents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data controlled management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Developing the dataset and standards required for measuring<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data analysis\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dollarspot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality sheet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitoring &amp; interpretation multi annual data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback to practitioners<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trials\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Desk study setup and goal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Formaliseren proef \/ protocol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project priorities\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Weeds in fairways (GB Batouwe)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bio-stimulants trials (GB Princenbosch)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grass species driving range ('t Zelle)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chafers etc&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workshops and master classes\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Discuss articles and publications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benchmarking sessions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK, research has been done at Rothamstead Research for a very long time: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rothamsted.ac.uk\/our-science\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.rothamsted.ac.uk\/our-science\" target=\"_blank\">hierbij de website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Het is de bedoeling om de onderzoeken die worden uitgevoerd, af te stemmen op Europees niveau binnen de kaders van de R&amp;A en het door hen gestarte programma <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randa.org\/en\/sustainability\/golfcourse2030\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.randa.org\/en\/sustainability\/golfcourse2030\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Golf Course 2030<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information see NGA website: <a href=\"https:\/\/ngagolf.nl\/dgb-nga-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DGB\/NGA-kennisplatform | NGAgolf<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kennisplatform greenkeeping Beschrijving kennisplatform greenkeeping Missie en opdracht.
