Application: Golf Courses & Sports Fields

Monitoring soil moisture for irrigation optimization of turf and sports fields

Monitoring Golf Courses & Sports Fields

Maintaining lush and functional lawns and turfs requires constant monitoring of landscaping soil. Ensuring optimal water saturation and uptake by plant roots is crucial for quality turf on golf courses and sports fields.

Traditional timed irrigation schemes are no longer adequate for these areas. Smart soil moisture data, measuring at the root zone, provides landscapers with the insights necessary to optimize irrigation, influencing fertigation and management practices. This is especially important given rising water and energy costs, along with restrictions during droughts.
