Unlock smarter irrigation with remote moisture sensing
turfRad is a remote sensing technology that delivers real-time insight into what’s happening in the rootzone without disrupting the playing surface. Mounted directly onto Toro equipment, turfRad collects thousands of moisture readings during routine mowing without changing the way you work.
Using miniaturised sensing technology developed by TerraRad, turfRad accurately measures moisture in the top 10cm of the rootzone. This allows turf teams to spot uneven moisture and early signs of stress sooner, leading to more precise irrigation and consistently healthier turf.

Advanced irrigation insights
Sprinkler-level moisture data gives you a clear view of how water is performing across every fairway. Use side-by-side daily moisture maps to easily track anomalies, compare changes and fine-tune irrigation decisions with confidence.
-
Proactive turf maintenance
By detecting rootzone moisture up to 10cm deep, turfRad identifies stress and uneven hydration before symptoms appear. Early insight leads to proactive remediation, healthier turf, and more uniform playing surfaces.

Unmatched ease of use
Mounted directly onto Toro equipment, turfRad collects data during routine mowing without changing how you work. There’s no need for buried sensors or surface disruption: thousands of moisture readings are gathered automatically as part of daily operations.

Cutting-edge sensing technology
Developed by TerraRad, turfRad’s miniaturised sensing technology is borrowed from climate science and uses passive radiometry to detect microwaves naturally emitted from the soil. This enables accurate measurement of moisture within the top 10cm of the root zone.
turfRad gives turf professionals a level of irrigation insight they simply haven’t had before. By collecting thousands of moisture readings during routine mowing, it removes guesswork from irrigation decisions and allows teams to respond to what’s really happening beneath the surface – not just what they can see.
