| Abstract/Contents: | Details precision turfgrass management, "the application of principles of precision agriculture to turfgrass management." States that the foundational principles are site-specific management; intensive site-specific information; key soil and plant properties; mobile, multiple-sensor devices; and that all site data are GPS (global positioning system) labeled. Discusses the Toro Precision Sense 6000 device, used for conducting irrigation water audits. Overviews a traditional method for water audits using catch-cans, and presents a method for use that focuses on soil moisture levels. Includes research result tables depicting soil moisture metrics for a fairway, as well as its percentage of volumetric water content. Reports that "information about the distances between irrigation heads combined with data and maps of fairways and individual irrigation-head impact areas can determine whether there are just a few head-spacing problems or whether heads are consistently spaced too wide." |
