Abstract

AE436, a 9-page illustrated fact sheet by Michael D. Dukes, reviews current turfgrass and landscape irrigation recommendations and unifies them to provide a coordinated science-based turf and landscape irrigation recommendation. Includes comprehensive reference lists. Published by the UF Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, December 2008.
