Know which fields need attention before crews arrive
Prioritise the fields that need attention with the team you have
Dry areas, soft spots and waterlogging can develop between site visits. Compare conditions across fields throughout the day, prioritise crew time and respond earlier when moisture conditions move outside the range your team has set.
The council and grounds-team challenge
Every field changes on a different schedule
Limited staff across many fields
Council and grounds crews cannot inspect every field continuously. Problems can develop between scheduled visits.
Dry areas and soft spots
Uneven moisture can leave one part of a field drying while another remains soft. Surface appearance alone may not show the difference early.
Winter drainage and waterlogging
Rain can leave some fields saturated long after others drain. Root-level trends show how selected areas respond after wet weather.
Germination and establishment
Ryegrass and repaired turf need close attention during establishment. Moisture and temperature trends add evidence between crew visits.
Changing field demands
Training, competition and recovery place different demands on each surface. Routine visits do not always match those changing priorities.
Fixed schedules across varied conditions
A routine irrigation schedule can continue when a field is already wet or fail to reflect how individual areas are responding.
Give crews a clearer view across the field portfolio
Find wet and dry areas earlier
Compare root-level moisture across selected field areas and sites to find differences before crews arrive.
Plan around weather
Place rainfall observations and forecasts beside soil trends to follow drainage and changing field conditions.
Build a continuous field history
Compare moisture and temperature trends through establishment, heavy-use and recovery periods. Where compatible controllers are connected, record whether scheduled irrigation ran, was skipped or was reduced.
Prioritise crew visits
Set soil-moisture threshold alerts so staff can focus visits on selected fields that move outside configured ranges.
