Abstract/Contents:"Creeping bentgrass often declines during hot summer periods. The relations between the shoot water potential of bentgrass and the rootzone water content of sand-based media with amendments during drought periods are not well understood. The objective of this study was to determine the water relations of 'Penncross' creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) L.) greens and the rootzone water content during drought periods as affected by rootzone construction systems with selected amendments. Three treatments, including: California (100% sand), USGA (10% peat, v/v), and California-Z (15% zeolite, v/v), were arranged in a randomized complete block with four replicates. The California treatment maintained the highest rootzone volumetric water content during both the 2000 and 2001 drought periods compared with the other treatments. The USGA treatment had the lowest rootzone water content for 2001. During 2001, the California-Z treatment had the highest bentgrass shoot water potential (least stress). The USGA treatment experienced the lowest bentgrass shoot water potential (most stress) during the drought stress period in 2001. The California-Z treatment had the highest bentgrass quality when compared with other treatments after the drought stress period in 2001. The California construction system may improve creeping bentgrass performance during drought periods by allowing better rootzone water uptake and less drought stress, thus offering advantages over the USGA construction system in drought prone situations."
