Abstract: It has been demonstrated that soil moisture sensor systems (SMSs) designed for landscape irrigation can save water. However, SMSs have not been tested with reclaimed wastewater. Both salts contained in the irrigation water ...

Abstract: Rain sensors (RSs) appear to be a useful tool for water conservation at a relatively low cost. However, little evidence related to RS performance and/or reliability exists. The objectives of this experiment were to: (1) ...

Abstract: Overirrigation of lawns with limited resources of potable water has increasingly become an issue for the state of Florida. A previous study showed that soil moisture sensors systems (SMSs) could lead to irrigation water ...

Abstract: New technologies could improve irrigation efficiency of turfgrass, promoting water conservation and reducing environmental impacts. The objectives of this research were to quantify irrigation water use and to evaluate turf ...

Abstract: Rain sensors are devices that connect to automatic irrigation systems to interrupt scheduled irrigation events as a result of rainfall. The accuracy of expanding-disk rain sensors over nearly five years was evaluated at a ...

Abstract: Rain sensors are devices that connect to automatic irrigation systems to interrupt scheduled irrigation events as a result of rainfall. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the dry-out time of expanding-disk rain ...
