Challenges of Sports Turf Maintenance
As a sports field manager, you face unique challenges and needs in terms of landscape maintenance:
Appearance: Whether or not the game is nationally televised, the field has to look its best when
game day comes around.
Playability: Your team won’t play its best if the field is not at its best and maximizing player safety
is paramount.
Efficiency: Your fields experience high usage and you have minimal time for them to recover, making
it all that more important to care for them as efficiently as possible.
Water Use: The need to conserve water affects us all, even professional sports fields – Maintaining the
field while minimizing water use and costs is a home run.
Toro has long supported the efforts of sports field managers, from our sponsorship of the Sports Turf Management Association, to development of maintenance equipment designed for the unique needs of your field surfaces. Now, our irrigation solutions take it to the next level with an innovative technology that will make the task of
meeting the demands of sports field maintenance a lot easier: The Turf Guard® Wireless Soil Monitoring System.
What Is Turf Guard?
Toro® Turf Guard Wireless Soil Monitoring System is a revolutionary technology that helps you improve
your turf, soil, and water efficiency. The Turf Guard system lets you know what’s going on beneath the
surface of your sports field so you can make timely, well-informed adjustments.
Installation is quick and easy without any wires or trenches; players will never know the sensors are there.
Once in the ground, each sensor accurately measures moisture, temperature and salinity levels of your
soil at two depths, in real time. That data is then collected and compiled into simple, easy-to-read tables,
graphs, and dashboards. This information can then be accessed from any Internet-connected computer by
accessing the system’s Web-based interface – you can even access your sensor information from a
Web-enabled cell phone.
