Why should Councils and Schools use soil moisture monitoring?

With the increasing demand on water resources and the pressure to maintain quality playing surfaces on ovals, isn’t it time to get serious with water management. MAIT Industries can provide a cost effective solution to your monitoring and control requirements.

iNTELLiTROL^® Turf allows users to integrate soil moisture data with irrigation automation based upon real time soil moisture conditions.
No need to replace your existing irrigation controllers . iNTELLiTROL^® Turf connects directly to your existing controllers, providing managers with accurate soil moisture data which will automate irrigation programs based upon soil moisture levels.

iNTELLiTROL is being utilised by a number of racecourses to monitor soil moisture and weather conditions on race tracks.
