Waterlogging is a common occurrence that has more impact on the sporting surface than just being detrimental to its playability. The saturation of a soil profile means the profile is anaerobic, completely changing the forms of various nutrients.

These images show the change in NDVI values across a one month period. As a result, a decline in NDVI value and turf grass cover can be seen in the goal areas. Please contact SportsTurf Consultants for more information on our drone services.

It's been a busy start to 2021 with Agronomic benchmarking of horse racing surfaces across three states.
#strigroup #striaus #turfgrass #benchmarking
Annual agronomic benchmarking for the #MelbourneRacingClub racing surfaces is well underway. Benchmarking the tracks annually provides technical data for the track manager to adapt or modify maintenance programs. #STRIgroup #STRIaus #turfgrass #maintenance
FUN FACT: 28-40 million tonnes of soil is being lost to erosion each year which has a significant impact in its ability to store and cycle carbon. Soil mismanagement contributes to the loss of 50-70% of its carbon stock, most being released as carbon dioxide. #STRIgroup #STRIaus
In April we’ll see the opening of the Silcock Reserve, designed to exceed expectations, the project aimed to, maximise quality, minimize over engineering of design for a quality asset for the Maroondah City Council. Well done to SJM, lead contractor. #strigroup #striaus
Stage 2 of grass installation has commenced at Silcock Reserve in Ringwood. The completed project will provide four re-developed football pitches along with a new pavilion. An excellent sporting complex for the local community. #strigroup #striaus #community #turfgrass #project
Sand installation has been underway at the Silcock Reserve for the Maroondah City Council, Victoria, with the grassing of stage 1 expected to commence this week.

It is critical that any sporting surface (hard or natural turf) is constructed on a stable base with good drainage. A poor base can result in rapid deterioration to the finished
surface impacting on playability & safety, with a much-reduced lifespan. #STRIgroup #STRIaus #sports
This image shows a root system that contains multiple Oospores — the causal agent of Pythium Root Dysfunction.

#Drones use NDVI technology to assess #turf health.
Here’s how it works.

While #turfgrass dormancy cannot be fully avoided in most circumstances, getting your #soil tested for a chemical analysis of nutrients annually will allow you to reduce the period of dormancy. #STRIgroup #STRIaus
It’s moments like these when worldwide travel is restricted that you remember back to memorable experiences. Here was a visit to a #turf farm in #Chengdu, the turf farmworkers hand weeding the paddock.

Excessive sand topdressing can be detrimental to the turfgrass sward. A general guide is to apply a maximum of 5mm, making sure the sand is brushed off the leaf afterwards. #STRIgroup #STRIaus
Hydrophobic behaviour of this rootzone sand is the bane of any #turfgrass manager. Ultimately, soil penetrants/adjuvents may be required to change the surface tension of this material to allow water to enter the profile for plant uptake. #STRIgroup #STRIaus
Equipment innovation is a great thing! To install the rugby posts at AAMI Park, Justin Lang & team use a machine that grabs the post horizontally from a trailer, then lifts it high into the air, rotates the post vertically and fits the post into the ground. #STRIgroup #STRIaus
We have recently completed a geotechnical investigation of the soil profile below a few greens and fairways. Here's some footage of the mechanical drill being used on a fairway. (A hand auger was used on the greens to reduce the impact on the surface.) #STRIgroup #STRIaus
The key to all good design work starts with an up-to-date survey of the sporting surface. #STRIgroup #STRIaus #sportsfielddesign
