Cool- and Warm-Season Turfgrass Irrigation with Subsurface Drip and Sprinkler Methods Using Different Water Management Strategies and Tools

This study compared the performances of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) to sprinkler (SI) cool-season turf mix (CS) and warm-season (WS) turfgrass species while investigating their response different scheduling strategies. Moreover, suitability crop water stress index (CWSI) for monitoring was tested. Irrigation applied up field capacity when 30%, 50% 70% total available consumed. All parameters, including color, quality, fresh yield, dry matter productivity, vegetation height mowing, differed significantly methods supply strategies both species. The best visual maintained under non-limiting soil moisture conditions (30%) in all main sub-treatments. At this threshold, maximum minimum amounts were SI CS treatment (523.5 mm) SDI WS (298.6 mm), respectively. Warm-season required 40% less than mix. In water-scarce regions, can be suggested acceptable lower consumption frequent clipping. mean CWSI before irrigation, representing ranged between 0.22–0.70.
