| Abstract/Contents: | "Small weighing lysimeters were planted in 11 different turfgrass species or mixes in 2010. Only one of the selections was warm-season turfgrass, the remaining 10 were cool-season turf grasses. There are four replicates of each turfgrass. Results are compared to ETos calculated from an adjacent weather station using the standardized Penman-Monteith equation. The first full season results from 44 small weighing lysimeters are presented. Each lysimeter is centered in a 4-ft by 4-ft plot of the same grass variety. The lysimeters each consist of a PVC shell containing a 12-inch diameter, free-draining sandy loam soil core having a 20-inch rooting depth. The lysimeters are continuously weighed in-place by electronic load platforms connected to a data logger. Irrigation is applied via high uniformity sprinklers and measured through a flow meter monitored by a data logger. All turfgrasses are irrigated on the same schedule and are managed to avoid soil moisture induced stress - each is brought back to field capacity at the time of irrigation. All grasses are mowed to the same height. The purpose of the study is to quantify evapotranspiration of several varieties of turfgrass, under wel- watered [well-watered] conditions and with adequate fertility. The average ratio of measured turfgrass evapotranspiration to calculated ETos are graphically presented in the Summary. Quantification of turfgrass ET with increased accuracy is especially important in regards to water conservation, programming of weather-based SMART irrigation controllers, agricultural to urban water transfers, and water rights administration." |
