Sports turf irrigation management

What if you could accurately determine the irrigation needs of the turf you manage without complex calculations or finicky equipment? Simple, robust sensors and a cloud-connected app give you a complete picture of the moisture in your soil profile, helping you to make more informed irrigation decisions.

Turfgrass irrigation management

More measurements aren’t helpful if they aren’t accurate. If your irrigation strategy relies on sensors that make you question each reading or if you end up irrigating based on gut feelings, then you may be washing your irrigation budget below the root zone. This results in wasted water, and potentially expensive fertilizers, insecticiedes, and fungicides as well. METER sensors have helped customers reduce water usage by more than a third without damaging their plants.

Turf Researchers Looking At ZENTRA CLoud
"I thought I was a pretty good irrigator, and what I discovered using the sensors is that...we were wasting a lot of water, which wastes nutrients, and it can even move pesticides out of the system. And so it allowed us to start fine tuning our irrigation, where we're looking at how best to irrigate turf grass, how that interacts with nutrients, and what that means in terms of drought response."
Dr. Bryan Hopkins, Brigham Young University
We believe in education

We're scientists. The quest for knowledge is in our blood. We've spent decades learning the best way to measure the soil, plant, atmosphere continuum, so you can access a wealth of information.

Soil moisture: Why water content can’t tell you everything you need to know

If you’re only measuring water content, you may be blind to what your plants are really experiencing. Dr. Colin Campbell discusses how and why scientists combine both water content and water potential for more accurate insights.
