FOREWORD

The correct use of water is critical to quality turf. Many problems can be

corrected by accurately consoling later to fill the needs of Turfgrasses.

Nationwide water shortages have focused our attention on water management.

The results of these concerns are turning out to be blessings.

More turfgrass areas have been injured and even killed by the misuse of water.

Too much water:

..... can affect deep root systems.

..... can promote uncontrollable diseases.

..... promotes scald at high temperatures.

..... can foster desiccation of the root system through

..... excessive heaving of the soil.

..... inhibits the normal existence of micro-organisms.

..... creates conditions for soil compaction.

..... seals the soil, preventing air from entering.

..... contributes to excessive run off, carrying nutrients with it.

..... carries away precious top soil.

..... is a waste of money.

..... is a waste of one of our most precious resources.

Turfgrass Managers should focus in on their watering practices. This begins with

the application of irrigation water and all that it involves.

The Turf-Tec Infiltrometer and the Precipitation-Uniformity Gauges provide the

necessary tools for a program of water Management.
