| Abstract/Contents: | "With the increasing trend of capping degraded golf fairways with sand and current strains of water resources, research toward efficient methods for irrigation management on sand-capped soil is needed. While Reference ET based scheduling, based on weather data, has proven to be a reliable tool for predicting irrigation requirements, reliable access to locally representative data often is a barrier for implementation. The availability of open-access NOAA Forecasted Reference ET (FRET) data provides ET data regardless of proximity to a weather station and offers superintendents another tool for managing irrigation. Unfortunately, research is lacking on how FRET values compare to the standard Penman-Monteith ETo at given locations. Also, due to increased uniformity of in root-zone depth and texture within sand-capped systems, in-ground soil moisture sensors (SMS) could be utilized as a soil moisture management tool on sand-capped fairways. This 2-year field study was conducted on 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 evaluated turf performance and water savings potential of four irrigation scheduling techniques including: 1) Wireless SMS, 2) Penman-Monteith Reference ETo, 3) FRET, and 4) Visual wilt-based approach. All scheduling strategies maintained above minimum acceptable turf quality throughout both seasons. Results to date point to NOAA FRET being a reliable estimator of actual ETo. Also, the soil moisture percentage at which wilt is observed appeared to change on a seasonal basis in the first season. This was not observed in second season; however, the mean VWC at which wilt occurred was significantly lower in the upper portion of the subsoil in 2020 (year 1 = 35%, year 2 = 33 %). Differences were observed for water use between treatments in the first season, no significant differences were observed in the second season." |
