The lawn surface temperature of the different irrigation

Relative to the cool season turf grass, warm - C4 turfgrass can be resistant to high temperature. Recently, however, the central and eastern United States was very hot. Many parts of the temperature history. High temperature and drought brought a lot of lawn to manage stress. Low maintenance lawn without irrigation death of large areas of degraded and lawn. Figure 2 shows a serious degradation after more than seven days of continuous high temperature, no watering lawns.

We tested the surface temperature of the Bermuda grass in the different local environment. The shade as well as irrigation of the existence of a great influence on the lawn surface temperature. In different parts of the same piece of lawn may appear a difference of 10-20 degrees. The following table shows the surface temperature of a grassland in northeastern Arkansas and near the road. Compared in Table I, Table II, we found that irrigated lawn, the bermudagrass turf grass stems and leaves and roots in the optimum growth temperature longer for lawn security is very important to spend summer adversities. Courtyard lawns and sports playground, irrigation can reduce the the lawn surface temperature, for lawn on human or animal health is also very important.
