Abstract/Contents: | "Irrigation runoff was measured from a turf plot with 8 % slope on a loamy sand soil using rotor sprinklers. Moisture levels in the root zone before irrigation and wind direction during irrigation both affect the volume of runoff. Turf cultural practices such as core aerification of the soil increased infiltration and decreased the volume of runoff. Prediction of the maximum irrigation runtime by the equation developed by Hung was longer than the actual time to the beginning runoff. The amount of fertilizer constituents in the runoff was measured. The research protocol including experimental design, equipment, and procedures to collect and quantify irrigation runoff from turf on slopes will be used to continue research in this area." |
