| Abstract/Contents: | "With current strains on water resources and with the increasing trend of capping degraded golf fairways with sand, research toward efficient methods for irrigation management on sand-capped soil is needed. While reference evapotranspiration (ETo) based scheduling, based on weather data, provides an effective means of predicting irrigation requirements, reliable access to locally representative data is often a barrier for implementation. The recent availability of open-access NOAA Forecasted Reference ET (FRET) data provides forecasted ET data regardless of proximity to a weather station and offers superintendents another tool for managing irrigation. Unfortunately, research is lacking on how FRET estimates compare to actual Penman-Monteith ETo at given locations. Also, given increased uniformity of root-zone depth and texture within sand-capped systems, in-ground soil moisture sensors (SMS) could offer another promising irrigation scheduling tool on sand-capped fairways. This field study is being conducted on newly constructed sand-capped Latitude 36 Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers. Xc. Transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) plots at the Texas A&M Turfgrass Field Laboratory in College Station, Texas. The study is evaluating turf performance and overall water use during the growing season for four irrigation scheduling techniques including: 1) Wireless SMS, 2) Penman-Monteith Reference ETo, 3) FRET, and 4) Visual wilt-based approach. In year 1 of the study, turfgrass quality remained above minimum acceptable thresholds regardless of irrigation scheduling method. Also, water use within the reference ET and FRET based treatments were statistically similar, suggesting potential for FRET as a reliable indicator of actual bermudagrass fairway water requirements." |
