| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by the University of Arizona "to determine the relative water use rates (ET) of two turf-type salt grass single-plant selections (A-48, A-119), SeaIsle 1 seashore paspalum, and Tifway bermudagrass." Describes the methods and materials used in the study. Reports that "of the 56 measurement days, the main effect of the grass treatment was statistically significant on 50 ET measurement days. This means that there were true differences in water use among these three grass species...Seashore paspalum had the highest ET rate (used the most water)." Mentions an analysis of montly consumptive water use "done to see what the water use was for each calendar month...based on the consumptive water use for June, July, August, and midway into September [2006]. Results showed that paspalum had statistically higher ET values than all other grasses [used in the study] in June and July, and was equal to saltgrass A-119 in August and September." Concludes that "bermudagrass always had a statistically lower ET rate (and consumptive water use values) than seashore paspalum"; "summation analysis showed that the combined water use of A-48 and A-119 saltgrass was statistically significantly less than that of the combined water use of SeaIsle 1 seashore paspalum and Tifway bermudagrass ET measurements in 2005"; "based on the measurement period of June 1 to September 15 [2006] (56 days), seashore paspalum used 495mm of water, while Tifway bermudagrass used 429mm, A-48 saltgrass used 405mm, and A-119 saltgrass used 425mm of water"; and "for the total water use of 56 ET measurements, Tifway burmudagrss, A-48 and A-119 salgrass used 87%, 81%, and 86% of the water that seashore paspalum used, respectively, when soil moisture was not limiting." |
