| Abstract/Contents: | States that "there are many reasons why water is essential for turf growth: for the formation of sugar during photosynthesis, for the dissolution and absorption of plant nutrients from the soil, for the moderation of leaf temperature through transpiration or syringing, and others." Also lists potential ways in which excessive water can be detrimental. Suggests the use of a water budget system, "as a guide for when to irrigate. The budget is base don water gaines by a turf area through rainfall and irrigation and water losses from a turf area through evapotranspiration (ET) and drainage." Describes a study at the Cambridge Research Station to evaluate the water budget system. |
