Summary: Monitoring temporal changes (changes over time) and spatial changes (changes from one location to another) in golf course soils can provide powerful information for golf course superintendents that can:

  • Prevent the accumulation of detrimental factors (such as soil salts)
  • Prevent deficits of essentail nutrients
  • Identify soil moisture and/or irrigation distribution problems
  • Pinpoint locations of stressed turf
  • Allow site-specific diagnosis and alteration of management practices before turf damage results
