The task of measuring soil moisture

The task of measuring soil moisture has become essential. Soil moisture on a course is a basic and highly variable component that directly affects the quality of the course and the type of play.

Current measurement technologies have enabled maintenance teams to improve the health of the fields.

Every field lives thanks to its strong root system, which develops thanks to water and air. When any of the basic elements fail, the system is lost. That is why monitoring soil moisture becomes a fundamental task. The sensors used can be portable like TDR or POGO or fixed like the WatchDog system. This information will help you to better manage irrigation, fertilisation, salinity and disease management.

A fast green is achieved with low humidity.

Many users of humidity sensors ask us what is the best way to measure humidity. correct humidity level. That is certainly a very difficult question. Grass plants are very particular in that their root system is always very shallow and they are often built on very draining surfaces that facilitate many agronomic aspects. This means that overwatering wastes valuable resources as they will not accumulate in the profile and the roots will not have time to take them up.

Overwatering keeps the plant wet for a long time and wastes water resources.

In addition, overwatering will make the plants wet and in the heat they are very susceptible to fungus, mould and disease.

Without humidity sensors, technicians only knew the humidity by touch or small visual samples, which gives very inaccurate information. Never wait for signs of stress before irrigating, as this will cause a serious loss of quality that will not improve after irrigation.

The technology makes it possible to combine the experience of observation with accurate, reliable and robust measurements.

With the meters we can:

• Gathering information on the ground
• Record information conveniently
• Study the information collected in the office.
• Saving on water

In addition, these devices allow you to measure salinity and temperature at the same time, so the amount of data collected is even greater.

Know your field with powerful, reliable and durable tools.

All the information from the technology is stored in the cloud so that it can be accessed at all times, with graphs, historical tables and maps of the variables. All this information combined with weather stations, disease models and the extensive experience of the maintenance team will change the way fields are maintained.

For example, during late autumn and early spring we can set the minimum humidity limit as e.g. 15%. In summer the minimum humidity limit to ensure quality should be raised to 20%.

The minimum limit is the time at which watering is mandatory.
