| Abstract/Contents: | "Gentle contouring and sloping surfaces are common features of putting greens. The effects of slope and putting green construction methods on soil water status and turf response was studied by withholding irrigation on experimental greens for a 10-day period. Some of our findings include: putting green drainage continued for an extended period following heavy irrigation; as time progrssed, green slope became an increasingly important factor influencing the soil water status of the experimental greens; rootzones containing finer sand with both organic and topsoil amendments exhibited drought avoidance throughout the study duration; turf drought stress was observed for coarser sand rootzones regardless of profile design, but only at upslope locations for greens at 4 % slope; turf drought stress was associated with water contents less than 10 % (by volume) throughout a substantial rootzone depth; perched water may not reliably serve as a reservoir for turf water use across an entire green surface; rootzone amendments appear to play an important role in maintaining higher water contents and avoiding slope-induced drought stress." |
