| Abstract/Contents: | "Proper design, scheduling, and operation of turf irrigation systems will help to ensure efficient water use for turf irrigation. Guidance for system design is provided in recently published standards, and assistance with hydraulic calculations available from computer software...Irrigations can be scheduled based on plant appearance, climate conditions, or direct soil moisture measurement. A water budgeting approach allows long-term climate records to be used to develop standard schedules. plus it allows the amount of water to be applied to be determined...In field plot studies, scheduling based on visual appearance and soil moisture sensors greatly reduced irrigation applied as compared to schedules based on long-term climate conditions. Irrigation standards also provide guidelines for conducting irrigation system evaluations. Results of field evaluations of residential and commercial irrigation systems conducted by a mobile irrigation laboratory were used to demonstrate the measurements that must be made to evaluate turf irrigation systems." |
