Automation of irrigation systems, based on soil moisture sensors (SMSs), has the potential
toprovide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. The
objectivesof this experiment were to quantify differences in irrigation water use and turf
quality between: 1) aSMS-based irrigation system compared to a completely time-based
scheduling, 2) differentcommercial irrigation SMSs, and 3) a completely time-based …
