Abstract/Contents:Reports results of studies conducted at the University of California from 1966 to 1974 on daily water use levels of bermudagrass, St. Augustinegrass, tall fescues, and bluegrass species. Irrigation water application levels were also studied in this report using five different methods for evaluation of application needs. Methods included tensiometer measurements, pan evaporation, and simulation of local turfgrass manager's irrigation scheduling. The Blaney-Criddle formula calculated on climatic data is often used for irrigation planning however, "...these studies showed that irrigation under automatic tensiometer control can efficiently provide for turf water needs. It also provided data on the amount of water needed by selected warm-season and cool-season grasses growing in climates similar to that of coastal southern California. Cool-season grasses use more water than warm-season in these climates. Evaporation follows the trend of actual water use more effectively than the Blaney-Criddle calculations. Evaporation measurements must be corrected by coefficients to give reasonable values for irrigation. These coefficients differ between warm- and cool-season grasses and change with the season."
