Here's a snapshot of some of the tools we use on a daily basis to monitor turf conditions. As temperatures get warmer, it is critical to observe these variables as they all affect plant health.
The moisture meter measures the volumetric water content of the soil.
An infrared thermometer measures the surface temperature.
A soil thermometer measures the soil temperature.
The macroscope allows examination of the turf in great detail through magnification.
