| Abstract/Contents: | "Water conservation has become a major concern over the last decade or more. Influenced by rising costs, recurrent drought, use restrictions, politics and social pressures, turf and landscape managers are expected to do more with less. Beyond the advancements in irrigation hardware and software, there are a variety of consumable technologies and products designed to manage water in the soil and further maximize water use efficiencies. These products and technologies include hygroscopic humectants, surfactants and superabsorbent polymers as well as mulches, compost, antitranspirants, plant growth regulators, and hormones/biostimulants. Understanding each technology and soil/water interactions will help landscape and irrigation managers decided which strategy is best suited for their specific situation. The content will include how and why to use the various technologies, how to maintain healthy turfgrass and landscapes during periods of drought or watering restrictions and the economic benefits of using water management solutions as part of a regular program." |
