| Abstract/Contents: | "Water conservation has far-reaching impacts on landscape management. Drip irrigation has greater potential for water conservation than sprinkler irrigation. Furthermore, mineral wool has been used in other landscape settings, such as green roofs to minimize water loss, but little research has evaluated use in a turfgrass system. A study is being conducted at the UC Riverside turfgrass research facility to determine the potential of two thicknesses of mineral wool placed underneath the drip system to sustain turfgrass quality in a semi-arid environment such as Riverside, CA. Mineral wool blanket (2 or 4 cm) was placed underneath the drip system equipped with 30 by 30 cm or 48 by 48cm emitter spacing in comparison with no fabric underneath. Two grass species, tall fescue, and bermudagrass were irrigated with two different irrigation regimes (80% vs 50% evapotranspiration replacement). Bermudagrass and tall fescue sod were installed in October 2019, and maintained at 5.1 cm and 7.6 cm, respectively. Every two weeks during the study period from May until October, plots were evaluated for turf quality, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and percent green coverage. The soil moisture content in 2.5 cm, 7.7 cm, and 12.7 cm below the soil surface are recorded daily 8 hours after each irrigation. Data from 2020 will be presented." |
