Abstract/Contents:"Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) grows best when the average temperature is about 20°C. During the summer in most parts of Japan, the average temperature is more than 25°C. In such high temperatures, bentgrass greens must be supplied with just the right amount of water, at the right time. Any prolonged deficit or excess of water in the rootzone is likely to result in severe damage to the grass. Turfgrass quality is improved, and bentgrass root systems tend to be more extensive, when the soil moisture content is maintained at a low level. The timing of irrigation is less important than is the amount of water applied. Wilting grass has a very high surface temperature, but transpiring grass has a surface temperature similar to the air temperature. Syringing greens does not have a meaningful impact on surface temperatures. In addition to the quantity of water applied, it is important to know what is in the water. Specifically, the salinity and the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) should be known, so that any potential problems can be managed before the grass is damaged."
