Abstract
Rain sensors are required on automatic irrigation systems installed after 1991 in Florida and recently, commercially available soil moisture sensors for irrigation control have been introduced into the market. Extensive testing facilities have been developed at the University of Florida on two types of turfgrass. This paper provides a description of the experimental set up as well as initial results.
