| Abstract/Contents: | "Water consumption and supply in the urban landscape continues to be concerns for many communities throughout the US. While much of the public prefers an aesthetically pleasing lawn with consistent green color across growing season, they are unaware of the differences among species for cultural inputs, such as supplemental irrigation, or how factors such as mowing height can affect water needs, often resulting in excessive irrigation. A field study over two growing seasons was conducted to determine the water needs of a drought sensitive (DS) and two drought tolerant (DT) Kentucky bluegrass (KBG) or tall fescue (TF) cultivars at two mowing heights (5.1 or 8.9 cm) beneath a fixed-roof rain-out shelter. Supplemental irrigation was determined using a green coverage threshold (GCT70) approach, where if an individual plot fell below 70% green coverage using digital imaging software, 12.7 mm of supplemental irrigation was applied. Time to reach GCT70 ranged from 18.0 to 52.5 days and 15.0 to 43.5 days in year one and two, respectively. Total irrigation needs for the 74-day period in year one ranged from 60.3 to 187.3 mm and varied by species and cultivar. Tall fescue, regardless of cultivar, generally took the longest time to reach GCT70 and required the least supplemental irrigation. After 60 days in year two, supplemental irrigation ranged from 53.7 to 134.3 mm, with TF performing similarly to year one compared to KBG. Mowing height had no effect on KBG cultivar performance, but maintaining TF at 5.1 cm reduced irrigation needs and improved appearance in year one. These data reinforce the fact that significant supplemental irrigation can be saved by planting a DT species and/or cultivars and using of a deficit irrigation strategy." |
