| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "give orienting information on the general relation of plant helath, wilting, withering, and death, to the general evaoporation conditions of the aerial environment and to the water supplying power of the soil for Baltimore [Maryland] lawns and similar areas in grasses...[and] to study the fluctuations in the water-supplying power of the soil in comparison with corresponding alterations in plant health." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is the main plant throughout most of the lawn, although some areas are densely populated by white clover (trifolium repens L.)...[and] the soil of this lawn is a rather heavy loam (Sassafras loam) with only a little organic matter." Also states that "the water-supplying power of the soil was determined by the soil-point method, at intervals of from two to six days, depending upon the condition of the plants and the weather." Reports that "the water-supplying power of the soil was indicated as high...[and] heavy rain of May 24-25 [1927] caused another rise in the water-supplying power." Also reports that "both bluegrass and white clover were in poor condition at the beginning of the season, because spring growth had not yet fully set in at that time; although the soil-moisture conditions had been excellent, yet the preceding low temperatures had retarded development." Concludes that "it is suggested that atmometer records kept during the growing season might give reliable indications as to when water should be applied to a lawn in order to keep it always in excellent condition." |
