For superintendents seeking more precise control over use of irrigation water, Toro recently launched its new Spatial Adjust software.
Spatial Adjust integrates with Lynx Central Control to apply irrigation adjustments based on moisture data collected by TerraRad turfRad sensors. The system provides recommended irrigation adjustments that superintendents can review and apply directly within Lynx Central Control.
The system uses this data to generate recommendations that help superintendents make more informed irrigation decisions, deliver more consistent playing conditions, reduce guesswork and manual adjustments, save time and reduce operating costs.
While the innovation behind the technology is advanced, the application is simple and user friendly. It works by placing the smart sensors on Toro equipment. The sensors collect field data, Spatial Adjust analyzes it and Lynx Central Control enables quick implementation of recommended changes.
Although the system provides powerful recommendations, superintendents can still set or customize specific moisture levels and override the system if and when necessary.
The data give superintendents the capability to view performance and water use year-over-year and predict conditions and need, resulting in fewer chronic wet or dry spots, and more consistent turf health.
