| Abstract/Contents: | "While currently used to a limited extent for moisture management in sand-based putting greens, in-ground soil moisture sensor (SMS) systems such as Toro Turfguard have been largely underutilized as a tool for irrigation management of larger areas on the golf course such as fairways due to the high degree of variability occurring in native soil systems. Sand-capping of fairways at construction or renovation is a popular agronomic practice occurring throughout the world. The increased uniformity in root zone depth and texture of sand-capped systems could theoretically offer an opportunity for more widespread utilization of in-ground SMS for irrigation management. In practice, variability in turf performance due to differences in soil water relations still occurs across a sand-capped fairway system. However, little is known regarding the sources contributing to this variability and their effects on overall feasibility of SMS-based approaches to fairway irrigation management. This study was conducted at the Texas A&M University Golf Course, College Station, TX, which had been renovated through sand-capping during 2014. The objectives of the current study were to measure, map, and statistically analyze sources of variability contributing to differences in turf performance during multiple summer dry-down periods. ArcGIS was used to generate spatial maps of 3 different fairways. Measured parameters included elevation, capping depth, sand cap texture (particle size analysis), subsoil texture, surface organic matter, salinity, and sand/subsoil compaction. Variability in capping depth and surface organic matter appear to be the biggest drivers influencing soil moisture availability in sand-capped systems." |
