Abstract/Contents: | Discusses irrigation, explaining that "within the United States, supplemental water through irrigation is necessary because evapotranspiration (ET) from the landscape exceeds rainfall inputs typically during summer months when heat stress can affect turf growth." Also discusses soil moisture sensors, stating they they "can provide the turfgrass managers a real-time plant available soil moisture status that is nondestructive." Offers several suggestions to conserve water, including to adjust the irrigation system; "mow less frequently with a properly sharpened mower"; "apply fertilizer for better water use efficiency"; and "don't skimp on water during establishment." |
