Abstract/Contents: | "In order to optimize irrigation reduction and conserve water resources, ways to increase water use efficiency and early plant responses to water stress need to be identified. This experiment was conducted to determine if frequent surfactant applications in couple with identifying water stress early can reduce the need for irrigation while maintaining turfgrass quality. Three consecutive trials were conducted in which bermudagrass was subjected to either (i) no irrigation, (ii) irrigated daily or, (iii) initially treated with a surfactant over a dry-down period. Turfgrass quality and localized dry spot (LDS) symptoms from surfactant-treated turfgrass was similar or better than irrigated turfgrass, with both showing greater quality and less LDS symptoms than observed from the non-irrigated, nontreated turfgrass. On some dates, the sensor determined water stress before stress was visually apparent. Applying a surfactant decreased irrigation requirements up to 71% while maintaining similar quality as bermudagrass that is not water stressed." |
