The main objective for a greenkeeper is to achieve the best quality surfaces while keeping efficient and sustainable management
There are great differences among sport and agriculture soils and their management, due to their own characteristic differences and because the objective for Sport surfaces grass is not human consumption, but playability under optimum agronomic management. The good health of our grass means no diseases or pests and a good growth in order to reestablish good playing surfaces.
Good turf health implies the absence of diseases, pests and proper plant metabolic functioning.
Nowdays the agronomy phylosophy is changing from traditional way towards a more advanced point of view where the soil microbiome knowledege is more important and also the efficient and sustainable way of managing grass, We must take into account many parametres in order to achieve the best goals. All these data collection can be done “in situ” through our Tiloom set of tools designed for golf, football or multi-sport venues , Kit Pro Greens by Tiloom
Our sport surfaces needs to be understood as complex systems which needs to be monitored from their physical, chemical and biological characteristics globally to understand it, as some of those metrics affects the others. Tiloom offers you an easy tool box in orther to understand your own system through the best tool on the golf industry.
Moisture, salinity, NDVI, pH, infiltration rates, etc are among other values which are important to measure in order to understand what is happening and what we need to add to our soils. All this info needs to be collected and monitor globally, understanding how one parametre affects the others.
It does not make sense studying salinity without taking into account the infiltration rates, programming core maintenance without checking compaction, readings evolution in time, etc..
It is very important to stablish our own parameters data base and being able to analyze them in a fast and accurate way, so we can count on with our POGO software, where we can implement all these data obtained from our Tiloom kit of tools for greens.
POGO Turf PRO is the perfect tool to record all parameters measured with the tools in the case.
