| Abstract/Contents: | "Growing urban populations have placed greater demands on municipal water supplies, especially during periods of prolonged drought. Thus, a goal of turfgrass breeding programs has been to develop turfgrass varieties with improved performance under limited water inputs, as is often required by municipalities through implementation of watering restrictions. St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntz] is a common lawn grass in the southern U.S. and recent widespread breeding efforts have focused on improving St. Augustinegrass performance under limited water inputs. Thus, the objectives of this research were to assess the effects of irrigation management and genotype on turf quality (TQ), NDVI, ultrasound, and dark green color index (DGCI) in the field. The field study was a split plot design with main plot (irrigation) arranged in blocks and the subplot was genotype. The irrigation treatments included: soil moisture sensor-based, twice a week, once a week, bi-monthly, once a month and no irrigation. St. Augustinegrass genotypes included three commercially available cultivars ('Floratam', 'Palmetto', and 'TamStar') and 8 experimental entries. Turfgrass quality, NDVI, ultrasound data varied by time, genotype, and irrigation treatment. Turfgrass Quality was correlated with all sensor data, but strongly correlated with NDVI (r= 0.82). Twice per week and sensor-based irrigation generally produced the highest TQ (5-7 on a 1-9 scale; 6 = acceptable) means for all cultivars, however sensor-based irrigation used much less water. TQ declined with once per week and lesser treatments (2-4 on a 1-9 scale; 6 = acceptable). Principal component analysis with sensor data and TQ showed the strong correlation with NDVI, but also helped to better understand the TQ ratings. For example, DALSA1618, FAS1602, and TamStar all generally had relatively high TQ, but FAS1602 showed darker green color than TamStar with DALSA1618 between the two. These results indicate that recent breeding efforts have produced genotypes that perform better with less water inputs than current commercially available cultivars and that sensor data can readily collected and used to improve our understanding of turfgrass performance under abiotic stress." |
