| Abstract/Contents: | "A long-term study consisting of two consecutive experiments was conducted to develop guidelines for turfgrass irrigation practices. Two warm-season grasses, St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] and common bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.)] Pers. were used in the first experiment and two cool-season grasses, Alta tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and Merion Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) in the second one. They were subjected to five irrigation treatments: a control based on common practice, irrigation based on evaporation from a pan, and three automatic irrigations activated by tensiometers at different settings. Each of the two experiments lasted more than 3 years. For the warm-season turfgrasses, quality was not affected by the treatments, although there was as much as a two-fold difference in mean annual water application. Rooting depth was significantly affected by the treatments. Invasion of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) and thatch thickness differed among treatments. In the cool-season grass experiment, quality was significantly affected, especially for Kentucky bluegrass. Weed population was related to irrigation treatment, but rooting depth was not. Soil salinity levels at the end of the experiments did not differ among the treatments. Automatic tensiometer control can provide water needs of turfgrasses more efficiently at all seasons than can visual estimation of water needs." |
