Gain better control of the water you apply.
And the results it delivers.
If you frequently deal with irrigation issues—whether
about water quality, cost, effi cient distribution, runoff or other
problems— you’re not alone. Superintendents and turf
professionals everywhere have water challenges, and in some
parts of the country, there are even legal restrictions on its usage.
Golf courses are high-visibility targets when communities start
questioning water consumption.
To help ensure long-term viability, the turf industry must
proactively rely on advanced technology and smarter practices
to use water more precisely and effi ciently. Precision irrigation
means applying water only where it’s needed, when it’s needed
and in the right amounts. In addition to effi cient water usage,
precision irrigation also helps maintain course conditions at
optimal playability.
Because the soil’s texture and composition determine how
much water the profi le can store, and because a golf course’s
I think it’s a very good tool. I access it and can tell
whether I need to irrigate, and I can keep track of
the moisture. I feel more comfortable with it.

topography dictates whether water stays where it falls or runs
off , a lot of information is needed to achieve precise irrigation
and optimum growing conditions. In addition to a solid
understanding of soil variability, you have to measure subsurface
moisture levels continuously.
An easy way to gain that knowledge is with the Toro® Turf Guard®
wireless soil monitoring system, and superintendents who have
used it understand the benefi ts of Turf Guard.
