As a sports turf professional, your goal is to help players and athletes achieve their peak performance and meet their goals when on your turf! And this often means maintaining a safe and durable field with uniform quality and playability.
But sports fields are under increasing utilization pressure. The maintenance staff is expected to keep optimal conditions year-round regardless of turf stress and damage. How do you maintain the turf in tip-top shape throughout the season while reducing maintenance costs and optimizing water consumption? KAA Gent has opted for a data driven approach to monitor the soil moisture, salinity and temperature levels. By identifying the soil quality variations in their field, the groundstaff can apply the right site-specific maintenance activities and eliminate turf quality variations.
