Analysis of agronomic data for soil optimisation

For an optimal management of your sports surfaces, In the case of the agronomic data, it will be necessary to carry out an analysis of the agronomic data, i.e. of the data collected in the on-site evaluationsto ensure that they are in a good state of conservation. To this end, Tiloom has designed protocols adapted to each sports surface.

These protocols based on UNE standards give rise to objective evaluations, obtained as a result of standardised tests, carried out by specialised personnel with approved tools and accredited laboratories.

From Tiloom we can carry out the evaluations, quality controls for your fields or even provide you with the instrumentation so that you can do it yourself.

In the quality control of natural turf, it is not only the assessments that are taken into account. biomechanicsof gameplay or efficiency of the irrigation system. We will also take into account an agronomic assessment based on a multitude of analyses and data analysis that will show us the differences between some fields and others or between different agronomic managements. We can even superimpose the results of rainfall with those of the field humidity, and thus find out if the possible deficiencies come from the irrigation system or from the physical properties of the field.

The data analysis will take into account both mineral and microbiological richness, and we will be able to understand their relationship with other agronomic variables. Thus, for example, a soil profile very acidic (pH< 5.5) typical of some fields that we have found for example in the North of Spain where there is also high rainfall and it is undersaturated in calcitewill differ fundamentally with the microbiome Acidobacteria will appear in the microbiome, low microbial activity related to calcium metabolism and possible calcium deficiencies.

We can have a total overview of the state of the field.

We can make all kinds of comparisons and statistical studies, for example to find out how much more varied the microbiome of a soil irrigated with quality water (Cluster 1) is compared to one irrigated with purified water (Cluster 2).

The study of the saturation rates of different chemical species in irrigation water will also be of interest because of the ability of these chemical species to precipitate in irrigation water and to form calcareous incrustations.

Accumulation of organic matter on our greens or fields of football is produced because the balance between carbon gain (carbon fixation) and carbon loss (aerobic respiration, fermentation, methanogenesis) is positive. Ask us about the latest solutions technologies for the control of organic matter and how to improve the health of your fields.

The determination of the different microbial populations through dna sequencing techniques is now a reality, so we can determine how efficient the nitrogen metabolic pathway is depending on the percentage of Nitrobacter bacteria for example.

It is interesting to have the ability to interpret the data in order to be able to make the necessary corrections, such as soil enrichment through our necessary organic and mineral products.
