| Abstract/Contents: | "To irrigate properly and conserve water requires an understanding of the fundamental role water plays in plant growth, and of the effects climate and weather have on growth rates; how they influence water use rates and choice of grass. Good irrigation management demands a knowledge of the basic physical and chemical soil properties, how they affect water absorption, storage and drainage as well as the frequency, rate and manner in which water must be applied. Further, proper use of water means correlating such basic information with requirements for play, for mowing and other management practices and programming a cost effective watering schedule to fit the existing irrigation facilities so as to make the most efficient and cost effective use of them and the available labour force. |
