| Abstract/Contents: | Monitored potential problems from watering golf courses with high boron sewage effluent. Water conservation during a late 1970's drought forced the golf courses in Calistoga, California to choose an alternative water source. A high boron sewage effluent available was analyzed and salinity, adjusted sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) (measured soil permeability), sodium, cloride and boron, and miscellaneous measurements were compared to "Guidelines for Interpretation of Irrigation Water Quality". The guidelines are presented in a table. Effluent salinity and soil permeability were in the "increasing problem" range and boron concentration was in the severe problem range. The course felt their turf, Seaside creeping bentgrass, would be tolerant of these conditions if irrigation were applied frequently and watered with the effluent from early 1976 to winter 1977-78. The monitored boron content in effluent soil and grass clipping from greens, adjusted SAR of effluent, and soil SAR. Results are presented in a table. Boron caused no apparent problem. Green appearance and playability were excellent, and boron did not accumulate in the grass at high enough levels to cause problems. Soil SAR rose to levels that could interfere with water infiltration. It is felt that application of gypsum could correct this problem. |
