[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1808677, member: 24565"] Shallow irrigation (low total amounts per pass) will have about the same amount of loss of transpiration and evaporation as say enough water to allow a week's worth of growth, likely 1 to 1.5". Repeated shallow waterings can increase shallow rooting. But with sandy soil, you need someone to tell you the approximate water holding capacity of the effective root zone. On newly planted crops, that would be much shallower than mature plants or with coastal bermudagrass in general. [/QUOTE]
