| Abstract/Contents: | "This Ohio State University study was conducted to quantify irrigation water savings that could be realized by employing peat alone, or both peat and soil as amendments to a high sand content putting green rootzone; and by employing a deficit-based irrigation protocol. Their findings include: Rootzone amendments can translate into irrigation water savings when accompanied with an appropriate irrigation scheduling protocol. The extent of irrigation savings is, however, climate dependent with lesser savings in generally arid climates and greater savings in humid climates. The increased rainfall frequency of a humid climate together with the less frequent irrigation requirement of a [an] amended rootzone yields a greater probability that rainfall rather than irrigation will replenish the rootzone available water capacity." |
