Toro Australia, a leader in sports turf equipment and irrigation solutions, is proud to announce its exclusive partnership with TerraRad to distribute TurfRad, an innovative turf management system that revolutionizes precision turf care. This collaboration combines Toro’s decades of expertise in irrigation and turf maintenance with TerraRad’s advanced sensor technology, offering groundskeepers and turf professionals an unparalleled solution for optimizing playing surfaces.

 “At Toro, we are dedicated to delivering the most advanced turf management solutions,” says Hamish Lloyd, Irrigation Product Marketing Manager at Toro Australia. “Through our exclusive distribution of TurfRad, we are integrating cutting-edge technology with our industry-leading equipment and irrigation systems, ensuring turf professionals have the best tools at their disposal.”

The TurfRad software relies on smart sensors installed on Toro equipment to map soil moisture levels while you mow or traverse the grounds. The sensors are able to measure subsurface moisture up to 10 cm deep, even through thick vegetation, and provide continuous readings for complete mapping of the grounds.

The sensors will send the data to the software in real-time, providing colour-coded maps that indicate soil moisture variations across the entire course, whilst also providing moisture uniformity and average moisture around each individual sprinkler head. TurfRad allows complete visualization of the grounds soil moisture to help improve playing conditions, save water and optimize application of wetting agents.

Toro Australia is proud to showcase TurfRad in use at the ASTMA Conference & Trade Exhibition on June 23rd to June 26th at the Sydney Showgrounds, NSW.
