| Abstract/Contents: | "A new, superior irrigation unit and a twenty year old irrigation unit have one thing in common: irrigation audits must be performed regularly to maintain or maximize the benefits of these systems. Enhancing irrigation efficiency and distribution uniformity will allow turfgrass managers to control the water from the irrigation head to below the surface of the soil. As water costs increase, public scrutiny will intensify making the role golf course superintendents and landscape managers crucial for conserving water while enhancing the cosmetic appearance of turfgrass and landscape areas. The objective of this presentation is to review irrigation audit procedures and introduce concepts such as soil water repellency; which may be inhibiting the performance of the irrigation system and reducing turfgrass quality. Soil surfactants will be discussed as tools to improve irrigation efficiency and water distribution in the soil." |
