App measures relative greenness


The FieldScout GreenIndex+ Turf app allows users to measure turf health via relative greenness using a smartphone camera.  The app quickly and conveniently captures images from a smartphone, calculates the DGCI (Dark Green Color Index), and correlates to visual ratings. Users can customize the visual rating calculation for different species of grass and specific plots of land. Measurements can be compared to identify variability or trends in turf health across sports fields and golf courses, providing valuable data for decisions regarding fertilization and irrigation. All data is logged and geo-referenced, and can be emailed to a personal computer for further analysis.

The controller also permits a Solar Sync Delay feature, allowing the installer to specify a number of days before the controller switches to automatic adjustment mode. Version 3 I-Core controllers need only add a Solar Sync Sensor, or the increasingly popular wireless version of the sensor, to take full advantage of automated water saving technology. Each of the controller’s 4 irrigation programs may be set to use the weather adjustment, or to run individually without automatic adjustment for special applications.

EVERGREEN turf blankets keep practice fields ‘Game Shape’


EVERGREEN Radiant turf blankets from Covermaster Inc. have protected the length of the field between the hash marks of the San Diego Chargers’ practice fields since 2011 with great success. So much so, that they ordered additional blankets to cover both their natural turf fields on an alternating schedule. While one field is covered, the other is used for practice. That way both fields will remain very playable and allows practice to continue on good quality fields well into the playoffs. Additionally, the Chargers rely on Covermaster’s TARPMATE rollers and the unique TARP MACHINE for easy handling of the covers with a limited crew.
