The experimental work was finished in 2011. A turfgrass irrigation handbook in Norwegian was published in November 2013 and the English version is ready for publication in February 2014. The reason why the project is not finished as of 1 January 2014 and the grant from STERF is withheld is a delay in the scientific publications from the project. We expect to rectify this by June 2014. The major findings in the project are:
2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Total | |
STERF | 395 | 395 | 395 | 294 | 1479 | |
Other | 94 | 348 | 440 | 440 | 348 | 1670 |
Total | 94 | 743 | 835 | 835 | 642 | 3149 |
