82 SPOR-m FjF1A)sDv%x;N, CONS TRU(MON AND MAIN-UNANCE <br />,Figure 7.1.

I - <br />ing ind operating ef -are <br />must also be considered in planning any watering program. Obviously, a clay if will <br />If <br />not accept as much water as asandy soil, and will require lighter, more frequent irriga- <br />tion. Consideration must also be given to scheduled field usage; a heavy irrigation event <br />a few hours before a game can result in slippery and even dangerous playing conditions. <br />Nlost turfgrasses, including overseeded bermudagrass, need as much as I" to 1 %.' of <br />water per week during the growing season to support turf growth. This cou Id come ei- <br />ther from rainfall or from supplemental irrigation. If the turf is not receiving enough <br />water it will -tell- an arrentive manager when it needs water. Signs like leaf rolling and <br />wilting, sustained foorprinting (failure of the turf to spring back quickly after foot or vc- <br />hicular traffic), and a change in turf color to a blue-green color are all characteristic of <br />desiccation-c:xcessivc dryness. <br />, <br />The best time to irrigate turf is in the early morning hours, just prior to or just after <br />sunrise. Early morning irrigation does not interfere with play in most situations, and <br />.serves to minimize the period of leaf surface wetness. Reducing the time the turf leaves <br />stay wet is an effective way to reduce disease incidence. Early morning irrigation also <br />tends to get more water into the soil for plant use, since evapc)rarion rates at that time of <br />day are minimal. Also, wind disruption of the irrigation pattern arc of lcsos concern in the <br />early morning hours. Finally, early morning irrigation usually allows for adequate field <br />drying before competition or practice, sea play can prof ced without a slippery surface. <br />
