| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water management in regard to grasses and soil, suggesting that "modification of soil and cultural practices, including water management, provides the best opportunity to reduce water needs." Highlights evapotranspiration, defining it as "the water lost by evaporation from the soil and from transpiration by the plant. On turfgrass areas transpiration accounts for most (80 to 85%) of the water loss or reservoir depletion." Considers the actual amount of supplemental water needed to keep turfgrass healthy, stating that the amount depends on "temperature, sunlight, wind movement and rainfall." |
