The watering frequency of newly planted grass is a problem that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including grass type, climate conditions, soil conditions, etc. The following are general recommendations based on these factors: 1. Initial watering
Rooting water: Newly planted grass requires immediate watering, which is called rooting water. Rooting water should be poured thoroughly in one go to ensure that the grass can tightly contact the soil layer, which is beneficial for the rooting and survival of the grass. 2、 Subsequent watering frequency
1. Seasonal factors: Spring and Autumn: The temperature is moderate in these two seasons, and water evaporation is relatively slow, so watering once a week is usually sufficient. But it still needs to be adjusted according to the local climate conditions and soil water retention capacity. Summer: The temperature is high in summer, and water evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to increase the frequency of watering. It is generally recommended to water the grass every 2-3 days to ensure that it does not wither due to water shortage. Winter: In winter, especially in northern regions, the grass may enter a dormant period, causing the entire plant to wither and lose vitality. At this time, the frequency of watering should be reduced to avoid excessive moisture causing the grass to freeze. Before winter, you can water the grass with antifreeze water once to help it survive safely.
2. Grass type: Different grass types have varying water requirements. Grass species with strong drought tolerance, such as Bermuda grass and dogtooth grass, can reduce watering frequency appropriately; Grass species that require more water, such as ryegrass and early maturing grass, require more frequent watering.
3. Soil condition: The water retention capacity and drainage of the soil can also affect the frequency of watering. Soil with strong water retention capacity can reduce the frequency of watering; Soil with poor drainage requires more careful control of watering to avoid water accumulation and damage to the grass roots. 3、 Watering precautions
Watering time: The best watering time is in the morning or evening, when the temperature is low and water evaporates slowly, which is conducive to the full infiltration of water into the soil. Avoid watering during the sunny midday period to reduce water evaporation.
Watering method: When watering, ensure that the water can penetrate evenly into the deep soil to promote the growth of grass roots. The principle of deep irrigation helps to improve the drought and cold resistance of grass.
The watering frequency of newly planted grass needs to be adjusted according to specific circumstances. While following the general recommendations mentioned above, it is also important to closely monitor the growth status of the grass and the local climate conditions in order to develop a more scientific and reasonable watering plan.
