We set down and talk with Dr. Derek Houtz of TerraRad Tech and Jamie Sharp with taskTracker about their L-band radiometer (turfRad). It senses how much moisture is in the soil. The amount of water in the soil changes the amplitude of the emitted microwaves, allowing them to calculate the volumetric soil moisture. The sensor can be mounted to a golf cart or a mower. Most of their testing has been on fairways. They have saw some great results so far. We even get into how to fold a shirt with Jamie's experience working as a golf pro.
