Abstract
The golf course industry is under increasing public pressure to improve environmental impacts by reducing management inputs, particularly irrigation. Precision irrigation is a viable strategy; however, in practice, adoption of soil moisture sensors (SMS) and mapping technologies necessary for implementation has been slow. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate that adoption of currently available SMS and mapping technologies can provide golf course superintendents with appropriate, actionable information that can result in significant water and cost savings relative to evapotranspiration (ET)-based and traditional irrigation scheduling methods.
