| Abstract/Contents: | Defines several terms related to water conservation, including evapotranspiration (ET), water use rate, drought resistance, dehydration avoidance, dehydration tolerance, and escape. Discusses turfgrass species and genotype diversity in evapotranspiration rates, stating that "detailed investigations of evapotranspiration rates involving inter- and intraspecies characterizations (2, 3, 5, 6), plus plant morphological parameters involved in the mechanistic control of evapotranspiration have been pursued for...twelve years as a major research thrust of this project." States that "these investigations were selected for the summary table because they were conducted under representative summer, field, cultural conditions, with one exception, and under nonlimiting soil moisture status." Discusses how "there has been a void in developing water conserving turfgrasses across most turfgrass species." Reports that "these results show that quality landscapes involving turfgrasses can be used that sustain a high standard of water conservation." |
