| Abstract/Contents: | "Maximizing irrigation efficiency and minimizing the amount of water used to irrigate turfgrass is desirable for many reasons including, but not limited to, turf health and quality, water and energy costs, good stewardship and effective use of other input materials. Irrigation efficiency depends on irrigation system performance (distribution uniformity), irrigation scheduling and the ability of soils to absorb, retain and release water for use by plants. While many advancements have been made with irrigation systems, controller and sensor technologies, less attention has been given to the role of the soil system. Soil deserves consideration as a water resource since it is so fundamental to the storage and availability of water needed for plant growth (Stroosnijder, 2009). Soil hydrological behavior is a key to the efficiency of irrigation and water management. A soils ability to accept rainfall and irrigation, and to transport, store and release water has a significant impact on the total amount of water required to produce acceptable quality turf. Factors negatively affecting soil hydrological properties compromise the soils function as a water resource leading to reductions in irrigation efficiency and increases in water consumption." |
