| Abstract/Contents: | "Water as precipitation or irrigation for amenity horticultural plants is required primarily during the establishment phase while supplemental irrigation requirements for maintenance is dictated largely by soil type and climate. Climate and soil type are less important than turf use in determining water requirements of turfgrasses. Turf irrigation is determined largely by the functional, ornamental or recreational requirements of the sward. Functional turf (highways) is not irrigated, ornamental turfs (home lawns) on an as-required basis while recreational turf (putting greens) must be irrigated regularly to maintain turf density and recuperative potential. Automated irrigation systems on recreational turf are necessary to reduce water use, labor costs, and allow the turf manager to control the amount and frequency of irrigation. In Canada, approximately 60% of putting green, 52% of tee and 34% of fairway irrigation systems are automated while the remainder are not irrigated or irrigated with manual systems. Irrigation is applied during the early morning hours to increase water use efficiency and reduce wear injury of wilted turf. The factors which influence water requirements of turf including use, fertility, mowing height and frequency, turfgrass species and cultivars, mower sharpness, thatch and verdure temperature will be discussed." |
