| Abstract/Contents: | "Much attention has been directed toward the development of new turfgrasses that are able to maintain functionality with fewer inputs. This comes at a time when sporadic droughts across the United States have increased awareness for continued improvement of landscape water use efficiency. Current research at North Carolina State University is comparing water use between newly released and industry standard warm-season grasses as well as tall fescue, which remains a popular choice among homeowners throughout North Carolina. Mini-lysimeters are being used to measure actual evapotranspiration (ETa) during the growing season. Meteorological data is also being collected by an on-site weather station to derive reference evapotranspiration (ETo) according to the ASCE-EWRI Standardized Method. Season-long comparisons of ETa to ETo will be used to identify potential for the refinement of irrigation scheduling recommendations in North Carolina. In 2017, ETa for tall fescue was 45 and 11% higher than 'TifTuf' bermudagrass during the first two weeks following sodding during spring and summer establishment periods, respectively. After the first two weeks, tall fescue ETa was 50 and 25% more than bermudagrass under non-limiting moisture availability. In 2018, evaluations will continue and water use for additional bermudagrass cultivars including 'Tifway', 'Latitude 36', and Celebration will be monitored under both non-limiting and limiting moisture availability. Water consumption data will provide regional information to be considered when selecting turfgrass for all uses." |
