| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the impact of quality irrigation water and the impact of sodium accumulation on turf health. States that "good quality irrigation water is a very distinct element, conducive to growing healthy and vigorous turf. It definitely pays off to be proactive in finding the right water source, as deterioration of turf quality is a lagging indicator, the result of a fundamental problem of sodium accumulation in soil." Reports that "when sodium begins to occupy more than 3 percent of total base saturation, degradation of the soil structure begins. Also, it should be understood that when the sodium content in the soil exceeds that of potash, the turfgrass will not respond to fertilization as expected." |
