| Abstract/Contents: | "The applicability of using relative humidity (RH) as a parameter for controlling supplemental irrigation of landscaping turf is explored. This economical watersaving technique is intended primarily for the small-plot irrigator. For the many western sites studied, the RH-controlled system is shown to be effective. For these sites internet databases often can provide the detailed weather information required for determining both the potential and the limitations of this irrigation-control approach. Strong correlation is demonstrated between accessed portions of the continuous RH trace and the daily evapotranspiration data that is generally accepted as the best indicator of plant-watering needs. Management of water application includes the quantity of water applied, the daily timing of the irrigation sequence, the length of the total irrigation cycle, the ideal time of day for measuring RH for the control parameter, and the differences of climatological zone types and local soil conditions. Different zone types may require different control strategies." |
