Six Ways Turf Guard Helps You Manage Your Turf
Turf Guard can help you more easily meet the daily challenges you face,
but don’t take our word for it – hear what other sports field managers are
saying about the most advanced soil sensor system on the market!
1. Promote healthier turf. Proper agronomy leads to healthy, vibrant turf.
2. Optimize Playing Conditions and Protect the Players. Firm turf plays consistent and fast, soggy turf is slow and can
lead to ankle/knee injuries. Turf Guard’s trend analysis makes sure that the field reaches optimal playing conditions for
major events. Help improve your team’s home field advantage by having consistent playing conditions.
3. Track Salinity Build-up. High salt levels can weaken the turf and reduce turf visual quality and playing quality and
introduce disease pressures.
4. Reduce/Ration water usage. Water usage in sports turf can often be reduced by 20-30% without any visible change to
turf quality or health. Stretching irrigation cycles can result in improved rooting depth and turf vitality.
5. Protect the Turf. Significant turf damage occurs when turf is played on
when it is too soft or soggy. Turf Guard can be used to set “Field Closed”
thresholds.
6. Increase Your Productivity. By centrally collecting vital information, Turf
Guard allows the grounds manager to be more efficient. Know where
the trouble spots lie before leaving your office.
“With Turf Guard, we’re creating a healthier
plant. It’s giving me more information and
giving me a better playing surface. e Turf
Guard data tells me how the plant wears, how
it recovers. It helps me get a healthier playing
surface for the athlete.”

“roughout the year I would be able to tell when the turf played better in
one game than in another game. I would get some baseline numbers as far as
what moisture level I wanted to play the game at. I was looking for specific
information with the moisture. I felt like I could keep the field at a little more
optimum range with the sensors in place.”

“Water is a critical issue. It’s becoming real critical here in Florida, and [Turf
Guard] is another way that if there’s any question about how we irrigate or
operate, it would show we’re doing everything we can to reduce the impact on
the aquifer in Florida …It’s a good tool.”

“You can optimize fertility applications based
on the data [the Turf Guard sensors] provide.
I absolutely love them, I really do. It makes my
job easier.”
