| Abstract/Contents: | The Sports Turf Research Institute has started a five-year study on the inter-reaction between automatic watering, construction and fertilizer nutrients applied to golf greens. Three automatic watering treatments are being applied to specially constructed trial plots to study overwatering, replacement of evapotransporation, and underwatering. Three types of plot construction include: 1) sandy loam soil, 2) sandy, soil and peat mixture (USGA specification), and 3) pure sand. Six levels of low and high phosphorus content fertilizers will be applied to the trial greens. A computerized Toro Network 8000 control system and weather station controls the watering applications. Weather station sensors provide rainfall, relative humidity, solar radiation, temperature, wind speed and direction. |
