“Using electromagnetic induction to inform precision turfgrass management strategies in sand-capped golf course fairways” with Dr. Briana Wyatt and Dallas Williams

Golf courses are well known for their beautiful greens, but overusing fertilizer and water to keep them looking pristine can lead to inefficient, expensive, and environmentally damaging waste. Precision turfgrass management can help, but only if we can find the right methods to put it into use. In this episode, Briana and Dallas join me to discuss their research on how electrical conductivity can be used to help determine golf course needs.

Tune in to learn:

· How many management zones might be in a fairway

· How turfgrass type can effect electromagnetic induction correlations

· Which properties are most correlated with electromagnetic induction readings

· How researchers can get readings on large areas of a golf course fairway
