| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to determine "the use of water by various lawn grasses." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that it "includes a series of seven plots...[and] water is added to five of these plots in measured quantities and at definite times and intervals." Reports that "the low rainfall and high evaporation rates of the last half of July [1931] brought about a gradual drying out of the soil even on [the] artificially watered plots." Also reports that "during [June, July, and August] the soil under the Kentucky blue grass supplied less water to a soil point than that under either of the other two species" used in the study. Concludes that the "results suggest that the narrow-leaved fescue places a smaller demand on the available soil moisture than the other two broader-leaved forms. This, together with the fact that it enters a drouth [drought] period with a greater reserve of soil moisture is probably a significant factor in enabling this species to survive drouth [drought] periods better than many other forms such as the bents and blue grasses." |
