Microclimate analysis

The SGL 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 and soil moisture.

Full control anytime, anywhere

The continuous TurfPod data stream to the SGL Portal enables you to have detailed insights into the microclimate of your playing surface and have 24/7 control anytime, anywhere. It ensures you can act in a timely matter to the ever changing conditions and make objective and justifiable decisions in regards to maintenance. 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.

Maximum flexibility

No large investments are needed, because you lease TurfPods with hardware, software, service and replacements included in a monthly subscription. Data modules can be added whenever you please, to customise your TurfPod based on your requirements and budget.

What our customers think about the TurfPod

Jim Buttar, Head Groundsman at Twickenham Stadium

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.
