| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how "water limitations all across the Southwest [United States] have placed increased demands for water conservation on golf courses and other recreational fields." Presents an experiment conducted at Texas Tech University "to determine the ability of seeded bentgrass to establish using SDI [subsurface drip irrigation] in high-sand rootzone mixes." States that "in many of the treatments, bentgrass seeds failed to germinate during the study." Reports that "peat moss never achieved 100-percent coverage. This could be in part that when the surface became dry, the SDI from below could never rewet the surface." Concludes that "more research must be conducted to determine whether SDI is feasible to establish bentgrass on high-sand rootzones." |
