Turf-Tec Infrared Turf Thermometer with probe
Turf-Tec is proud to introduce a reliable, lightweight infrared thermometer that is ideal for checking temperatures on turfgrass areas, in addition, this unique tool also has a removable sensing probe that also can give direct soil readings.
The Turf-Tec
Infrared Turf Thermometer with probe is easy to use, and since it does not have
to make contact with the turf, it is a quick way to asses turfgrass stress.
Using an infrared thermometer will eliminate potential damage and contamination.
The Turf-Tec Infrared Turf Thermometer with probe is easy to use, just pull
the trigger, aim the laser and the temperature is displayer on the large,
backlit display. This new unit also comes with a temperature probe so you can also test the soil temperature with one compact
unit. Unit also comes with a hard plastic protective case.
Using an infrared thermometer is an excellent method to check
the canopy and soil temperatures in a green. An infrared thermometer can
be used to monitor hot spots on a putting green. During wilt, canopy
temperatures rise dramatically and the turf shows classic wilt symptoms such as
leaf curling, footprinting, and an off-color appearance. In the early stages of
wilt, the canopy temperature increases before any wilt symptoms are visible. An
infrared thermometer can be used to check for areas that may be heating up but
have not
shown any visible symptoms. With this early warning tool, crew members
can correct a moisture deficit earlier and reduce stress to the green.(1)
Now with one easy to use tool, you can check canopy temperature as well as soil temperature. Unit also comes in a protective hard case.
