With an irrigation system, you can schedule the <br />watering based on environmental factors... <br />Irrigation <br />It is very difficult to maintain an athletic field without irrigation. Schedule irrigation to <br />supplement rainfall, and frequency and duration depends on environmental factors and <br />limitations of the irrigation system. <br />The best time to irrigate is just before wilt occurs. Most grasses have a darker or a dull <br />bluish -green color, and the leaf blades begin to fold or roll when the grass is under water <br />stress. Irrigation should begin when these signs are first observed. <br />Apply enough water to soak the soil to a depth of at least 6 to 8 inches. On medium - <br />textured soils, this usually means applying about I inch of water per week during the <br />summer. Light, frequent irrigations encourage shallow, weak root systems and thatch <br />accumulation. <br />The best time of day to irrigate is before sunrise because there is less wind and lower <br />temperatures, thus less water loss to evaporation. Irrigation at night is more efficient than <br />irrigation during the day. Irrigating after dew develops or before the morning dew dries <br />off does not increase disease problems. Irrigating 24 to 48 hours before major field use <br />will help reduce soil compaction. <br />On many fine -textured soils, runoff may begin before the soil is properly wet to the right <br />depth. When runoff occurs, stop irrigating and let the water soak into the soil for one to <br />two hours before starting again. It may be necessary to repeat this cycle several times <br />before irrigation is complete. <br />
