USGA Summary Points: | An irrigation research trial was conducted in 2018 and 2019 at UCR Agricultural Experiment Station in inland Southern California to study the response of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), and bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) turfgrass species to multiple irrigation treatments. The irrigation treatments were autonomously regulated by Weathermatic smart irrigation controller, which showed a promising agreement with ET data collected from a nearby CIMIS data. The catch can test estimation of the precipitation rate was substantially lower than the precipitation rate measured with a precise flow meter. This finding suggests that in irrigation research projects the precipitation rate should not be scheduled based on a catch can test. Our results (three years; 2017-2019) indicate an irrigation application of approximately 110% ETref and 80% ETref for tall fescue and bermudagrass species as a minimum to maintain an accepted turf quality over summer months in inland Southern California. Assuming the irrigation efficiency of 80% for the sprinkler system, the estimated minimum plant factor for the tall fescue and bermudagrass species, therefore, are 0.88 and 0.64 for the study area. |
