Turf Guard

Toro’s Turf Guard is a wireless soil monitoring system that effortlessly improves turf, soil and water efficiency. Turf Guard sensors monitor moisture and temperature in the playing surface, helping to retain optimum conditions for the surface and root zone.

 

Each sensor accurately measures the moisture, temperature and salinity levels of your soil at two depths in real time. That data is then collected and compiled into easy-to-view and understand tables, graphs and dashboards, and can be accessed from any Internet-connected computer by connecting to the system’s web-based interface.

 

No wires between the repeaters and sensors, or the sensor and probes means that sensors can be installed anywhere on the course without disrupting play.
