Effects of Air Movement and Syringing on the Microclimate of Bentgrass Turf¹

Air movement of 4 mph reduced turf mat temperature a maximum of 13 F compared to that reached when air movement was restricted. A maximum difference of 10 F was observed at a two inch soil depth under the two air movement regimes. Relative humidity 3 inches above the grass was not influenced by air movement at 4 mph.

Temperature reduction resulting from syringing with 0.25 inch of water at 12 noon was small in both the mat and at the 2-inch soil depth. However, syringing prevented temperature from reaching the maximum which would have occurred had no water been applied.
