USGA Summary Points:Water retention and water conductivity of rootzone material or in a putting green rootzone are two important properties that are connected by soil water potential. In order to understand the water holding and water movement properties of a rootzone, both water retention and water conductivity have to be viewed as a continuously changing curve instead of one data point. An automated TDR-infiltrometer can be used to determine water retention and water conductivity in a few hours. This eliminates many artificial errors associated with sample preparation and test procedures. Curves are generated rather than a single point allowing for putting green construction and design according to the soil water properties. The proposed test methods can also be used to estimate soil physical parameters that better reflect field conditions and therefore of more agronomic value.
