| Abstract/Contents: | "Proper irrigation scheduling is an integral part of turfgrass management. This paper discusses two methods of irrigation scheduling, based on monitoring atmospheric demand, which result in estimates of evapotranspiration (ET). The objectives of this study were to compare modified atmometer estimates of turfgrass ET (ETā^D[t) with Kimberly-Penman alfalfa reference evapotranspiration (ET^D[r) estimates and to evaluate the modified atmometer's usefulness as a turfgrass irrigation scheduling tool in semi-arid regions. To date, there are no published reports concerning the use of modified atmometers for the scheduling of turfgrass irrigation. Data were collected on a one to three day basis during the summer months of 1993-1995 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Three to five atmometer surfaces were placed above a uniform sward of well-irrigated Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.). A simple statistical comparision of the one to three day ETā^D[t estimates with ET^D[r estimates revealed that ETā^D[t averaged 75% of ET^D[r. This result fitted well with the results of the concurrent irrigation requirement study which showed that Kentucky bluegrass could be irrigated every three days at 70% of ET^D[r and maintain acceptable quality (Ervin 1995). Based on short and long term analyses we conclude that modified atmometers have very good potential for medium to high maintenance cool-season turfgrass irrigation scheduling in semi-arid climatic regions." |
