| Abstract/Contents: | "Research efforts at New Mexico State University are underway to investigate whether greens type, irrigation type, and/or rootzone type affects turfgrass performance, irrigation efficiency, and, subsequently, irrigation water use in the desert Southwest. This study reports the establishment data. The study's findings include: When data were analyzed separately for each amendment, sprinkler-irrigated USGA greens and subirrigated ECS (Evaporative Control Systems) greens established faster on standard rootzones than drip-irrigated USGA greens and sprinkler-irrigated California greens. Sprinkler-irrigated California style greens and subirrigated ECS greens had the fastest establishment on the Fytofoam-amended (urea-formaldehyde polymer) rootzones. Subsurface drip and sprinkler-irrigated USGA greens showed the slowest establishment on Fytofoam-amended rootzones. Despite having received the highest quantities of irrigation water, subsurface-drip irrigated plots established the slowest. Capillary rise in the sandy rootzone may not have provided enough water to the seedlings at the surface. Plots irrigated with the ECS subirrigation system had the fastest (standard rootzone) or second fastest (Fytofoamamended sand) establishment, despite having received the least amount of irrigation water. This can be explained by the permanent perched water table in the ECS system that delays or prevents drainage losses." |
