1. Underground Soil Sensors Show When and Where Water is Needed

The underground soil monitoring solution enables us to optimize irrigation accurately. The wireless soil sensors tell us where and when the water is needed. As the soil conditions vary significantly across the property, not all greens and fairways can be treated according to the same program.

2. Underground Soil Sensors Complement Other Technologies

One of the crucial advantages of having underground soil monitoring is that its accurate, real-time soil moisture, salinity, and temperature data perfectly complements other maintenance technologies – such as our Greensight drone-mounted thermal imaging solution.

3. Underground Sensors Increased Working Efficiency Compared to the Previous Solution

One of the biggest reasons for choosing Soil Scout is increased working efficiency! Now our team doesn’t have to fiddle around, taking sensors in and out, as with our previous solution.

4. Easy and Fast Installation

Easy and fast installation are valuable features. They make the initial investment cheaper and reduce the recurring maintenance costs because each re-configuration requires less time and effort.

5. The Wireless Solution is Flexible and Customizable

Soil Scout’s wireless system with cable-free underground sensors and solar-powered radio signal repeaters provides turf managers exceptional flexibility. It makes maintenance more efficient and allows us to optimize the system as per our needs – so, we can place the sensors where they are needed the most.

6. Start with a Small Initial Investment – Add More Sensors Over Time

With Soil Scout, a golf club can start with a small initial investment, and scale it along with the budget.

7. With Soil Scout You Are Not Dependent on Cellular Signal

Many wireless soil monitoring solutions are built on cellular connectivity, which can be a major draw-back because many golf courts, just like meadow Club, are located outside of strong 4G coverage. The signal strength can be weak in some spots, or, in the worst case, it is not available at all.

Turf-Tec International

Soils differ in mineral content, texture, particle size, organic matter content, air space and microorganism levels, so no two soils are the same. Find the soil moisture range for each specific area on a course. Determine the depth of turfgrass roots for that time of year and adjust the moisture sensor to that depth.

GroundWorx

Water and energy savings (decreased pumping) might be the initial focus, but sensors can help do so much more. Place sensors where they will be the most impactful across the entire course, not just in trouble spots. Consistent readings tell you just as much about a course as volatile readings.

Spectrum Technologies

It’s necessary for golf course superintendents to monitor soil moisture over time with in-ground sensors, located in multiple locations, or with portable soil moisture meters. Greenskeepers are likely to get different readings depending on where they are on the course.
