USGA Summary Points: | During 2020, soil moisture sensor placement was finalized, the irrigation control system was rezoned, and the system was configured to record total water use by treatment, fairway, and soil moisture class. A dry down was conducted to determine the appropriate soil moisture thresholds for the SMS-based treatment. Irrigation treatments were initiated, and total water use was recorded throughout two independent runs during summer and fall 2020. Precision Sense 6000 (PS6000) surveys were conducted twice weekly for each run. Significantly less water was consumed on fairways using the SMS-based treatment. The ET- based approach used the most water of all treatments. Turf quality, golfer perceptions, and energy savings will be evaluated using data collected in 2020. The experiment will be repeated in 2021. |
