| Abstract/Contents: | "Daily water use of Japanese privet (Ligustrum japoncicum), Oleander (Nerium Oleander), Apachee plume (Fallugia paradoxa), Coyote bush (Baccharis pilularis), Purple cone flower (Echinacea purpurea) and Blanketflower (Gaillardia grandiflora) grown in 1 gal containers was determined gravimetrically. Containers without plants were included as controls. Total daily water use (evaporation plus transpiration) was between 112 and 555 ml (1.1 to 2.6 times control), depending on plant species and environmental conditions. Turf evapotranspiration (ET) rates were obtained from a MAXI-COM system and ranged between 0.46 and 0.89 cm. These rates were 87% plus or minus 14% of actual water lost from the controls. Daily water use was linearly correlated with ET (r>0.73; P>0.03) for each species except Ligustrum suggesting that ET may be used to schedule container irrigation for a range of plant species." |
