| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses managing water levels in soil to potentially improve turf health. Suggests that monitoring soil moisture levels can save on irrigation costs, and states that "while evapotranspiration measurements are very useful, soil moisture sensors can be even more helpful in making informed irrigation decisions." Provides information regarding the use of soil moisture sensors, overviewing field capacity, wilting point, soil moisture levels, and sensor technology options. Notes that "handwatering with soil moisture sensors has proved to be a good training tool and improved the consistency of greens." |
