What Is the One-Third Rule?

Understanding the One-Third Rule

In particular, the rule asserts that for an increase of 1% in capital expenditures to labor, a resulting productivity increase of 0.33% will happen. The one-third rule further assumes that all other variables remain static. So, no changes in technology or in human capital occur.

What is the 1 3 rule?

The one-third rule means that when you mow, you want to cut off the top one-third of your grass blades. So, for three-inch grass blades, you want to mow when they grow to approximately 4.5 inches tall (3 / 4.5 = 0.667).

What is 1/3rd rule in mowing?

The 1/3 rule makes the most sense for relatively high cut turf found in golf course roughs, sports fields and home lawns. Applying the rule, you should never let a rough maintained at 2 inches grow higher than 3 inches before mowing.
