The study Initiated in June 2022, the study aimed to evaluate the differences in water consumption and soil moisture retention between Capillary Hydroponic System and Variable Depth Rootzone overhead irrigation for putting greens. Data collected included green speed, surface firmness, clipping yield, pest observations, nutrient holding capacity, organic matter build-up, and drainage water nutrient content. Key findings Capillary Hydroponics used 60% less water over a 10-week period starting June 2023 than the Variable Depth Rootzone system. In context-specific scenarios involving precipitation and evaportanspiration rates, the Capillary Hydroponic System used between 42% and 83% less water than the Variable Depth Rootzone system. There is no significant difference in playability between the Capillary Hydroponics System and the Variable Depth Rootzone greens concerning green speed or surface firmness.
