| Abstract/Contents: | States that "the quality of water applied to recreational turf is as good as it will ever be and over the next decades will get worse. Since salt is the ultimate growth regulator, maintaining turf growth and development, acceptable putting standards on greens and grass survivability will be long-term goals". Describes the four-way interaction between water, soil type and profile, turfgrass species, and cultivar and the environment. States that "as salinity increases, turfgrass management will subsequently need to increase." Provides a brief overview of important terms such as total dissolved salts (TDS) and electrical conductivity of soils and water (ECe and ECw). Mentions that "current development of grass cultivars with improved levels of salinity tolerance is providing previously unavailable options for managing grasses, using variable quality recycled and increasingly saline irrigation water". |
