A scientific-based and effective turf management program is dependent upon your ability to accurately assess a variety of variables including fertility issues, proper soil amendments, and drainage problems-just to name a few.

Accurate data leads to accurate decisions.

• Track fertility trends over time, ex. increase/decrease in phosphorus or soil pH over time, comes with consistent data
• Troubleshoot problem areas, get the right answer to "why" an area is an issue
• Recommendations of fertilizer and soil amendments-apply the right amount at the right time
• Substantiate nutrient uptake through plant tissue analysis, ex. Is the high zinc from the soil test being taken up by the plant?
• Monitor soil drainage conditions to quantify and determine the affects of soil amendments, mechanical aerification-even the need for tile drainage or the dreaded decision to reconstruct poor quality greens.
