Use of forecasting systems for fertilisation and diseases

Wylihof Golf Club

Written by: Michael Burren

Wylihof employs a sophisticated turf grass growth model that relies on temperature data to determine precise fertiliser needs. Additionally, it incorporates a 5-day forecast for assessing dollar spot infection probabilities, aiding in strategic fungicide application decisions.

This approach enables resource and cost conservation by minimising the frequency of applications. Simultaneously, it also plays a role in environmental stewardship by curbing fertiliser runoff and groundwater contamination while promoting soil health on the course.
