See the Unseen: Optimize Your Turf with turfRad Soil Mapping

The turfRad is an advanced soil moisture mapping solution that helps golf course superintendents optimize playing conditions and conserve natural resources. It ends the guesswork. Using patented L-band microwave technology (miniaturized from space agency satellites), turfRad collects thousands of high-resolution, root-zone measurements from your existing mowers, providing actionable insights with zero extra labor.

Key Features & Benefits:

Patented L-Band Technology: Utilizes satellite-grade microwave sensing to accurately measure subsurface moisture directly in the root-zone, not just the surface.

Zero Extra Labor: The rugged, waterproof sensor easily mounts on your existing mowers or UTVs and collects data (7 measurements/second) during routine operations.

Precision Irrigation Insights: Instantly identify persistent wet/dry areas, discover irrigation equipment irregularities, and get the data you need to dial-in individual sprinkler runtimes.

Advanced Data Views: Use the “Card View” to track moisture trends day-over-day or the “Compare View” to swipe and seamlessly compare data for the same fairway across different days.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose turfRad?

From Space to Your Fairway: turfRad uses the same proven L-band technology the European Space Agency uses to map global soil moisture, now miniaturized for your course.

Save Water, Time, and Money: Stop guessing and spot-treating. By precisely targeting irrigation based on root-zone data, you conserve water, reduce resource costs, and improve overall turf health.

Proactive Problem Solving: Get ahead of issues before they’re visible. turfRad helps you spot irrigation leaks, blockages, or inefficiencies before they stress your turf and create problems.

FAQs:

Q: What is L-band technology?

A: L-band is a specific microwave frequency that is highly effective at penetrating the ground to measure moisture where it matters—the root-zone. It’s the same robust technology used by space agencies for global soil analysis.

Q: Does this require a dedicated person to operate?

A: No. The system is designed for zero extra labor. It mounts on your existing equipment and collects data automatically while your team performs their normal mowing and maintenance routines.

Q: How quickly do I get the data?

A: The data is uploaded automatically via Wi-Fi and processed in real-time, giving you actionable moisture maps immediately after a pass.
