Microclimate analysis

The TurfPod tracks six essential growth factors of your playing surface, both soil and surface conditions, to give you detailed insight into the microclimate. This enables you to make objective decisions about your maintenance to get your playing surface in top quality before every game. The TurfPod measures both above surface and below surface growth factors, to give a very accurate insight into the microclimate: air temperature, soil temperature, PAR light, salinity, humidity, soil moisture.

Based on the data provided, you can optimise your resource efficiency and only use the required resources in the most efficient way, such as water and nutrients. This helps you to reduce waste, costs and minimize your ecogolical footprint.

What our customers think of the TurfPod

Jim Buttar, Head Groundsman at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

“We needed a monitoring tool to help us get a better understanding of the microclimate. Using the TurfPod recently resulted in a change in our irrigation plan for some parts of the pitch, after we discovered a difference in soil moisture. The data we receive is very valuable to see even the smallest change in growth factors, which can have a big impact on the pitch at the end.”
