Create consistent course conditions with water and playability information

Water management tools within the software provide information so that users can correlate soil moisture levels with key weather variable such as evapotranspiration rate, humidity, wind, and forecasted precipitation. Data helps develop watering practices that help reduce water and energy cost and improve chemical and nutrient applications, while providing consistent playing conditions on the course.

 

Playability variables such as height-of-cut and green speed can also be entered into the system to enable the user to correlate data from across the entire course to help guide decisions on maintenance, application, and other agronomic practices to maintain and improve course conditions and turf health.

  • User-defined thresholds provide visibility to areas of concern
  • SMS alerts when conditions fall outside user-defined thresholds
    • Green speed
    • Moisture percentage
