Cyclic Irrigation of Turfgrass Using a Shallow Saline Aquifer

Abstract: Utilization of poor quality waters in the urban landscape has the potential of saving large quantities o f good quality water for higher priority uses. Bennudagrass in particular is well suited to be irrigated with poorer quality water. A two-year field study was conducted to determine the long-term effects o f applying shallow saline aqui&r water to two turfgnss sports fields. The water (0.69-3.4 dSm ') was applied using cyclic irrigation during peak demand months (Mty-Oct). Treatments consisted o f cycling s… Show more

“…Irrigating turfgrasses with saline waters requires careful rootzone management to prevent detrimental levels of salt accumulation. Adding a leaching fraction to the required irrigation amount, blending irrigation water, or alternating sources of irrigation water have all been suggested as strategies to manage salinity accumulation (Ayers and Westcot, 1985; Dean et al, 1996; Schaan et al, 2003; Rhoades, 1989). In this study we added a leaching fraction (irrigation was applied at 110% ET o ) and relied on natural precipitation to manage salinity in the top 20 cm of the rootzone.…”

“…In the southwestern United States 37% of all golf courses are currently irrigated with recycled water (Throssell et al, 2009). Saline groundwater extracted from shallow depths has also been suggested as a source of irrigation water for landscapes (Schaan et al, 2003). An estimated 75% of New Mexico's groundwater is considered saline or brackish and unusable for human consumption (Reynolds, 1962).…”

“…As for the effects of irrigation periods, Schaan et al (2003) mentioned that elongating irrigation periods saved irrigation fresh water and N loss, but led to little changes in colour, cover and plant water status of both Cynodon dactylon L. "Tifway" and Lolium perenne L. "Champion". ElMaadawy et al (2005) Therefore, this study was aimed to explore the effect of irrigation periods, alone or with humic acid organic fertilizer on growth and quality of seashore paspalum turf.…”
