| Abstract/Contents: | "Water is one of the greatest limiting factors influencing turfgrass growth. Due to increased pressure to preserve water resources, there is interest in development of sensor-based technologies to indicate turfgrass irrigation requirements. This study is designed to determine what technologies might reliably and accurately predict irrigation scheduling needs of warm-season turfgrass. `Floratum' St. Augustinegrass was established in 19 inch diameter tubs in the Envirotron Turfgrass Research facility in Gainesville in the spring of 2002. Each grass was subjected to repeated dry-down cycles where irrigation was withheld. Data were collected on: a) shoot quality, leaf rolling, leaf firing, turf color; b) soil moisture content; c) leaf relative water content (RWC), and d) chlorophyll content index. Results of this study indicated that turf quality was highly correlated with soil moisture (Pā¤ 0.0001) throughout the dry-down cycle. As turf quality declined below acceptable levels, these sensor-based technologies were able to predict the need for irrigation scheduling." |
