The number of sensors you need depends on your operation type and what you want to monitor. Below are recommended placements by industry to help you get the most out of your sensors from day one.
Golf
Golf courses use sensors to benchmark green conditions, track moisture, monitor salinity, and get ahead of disease pressure before it becomes visible.
Recommended placements
4–6 Greens Indicators
Benchmark conditions, receive moisture data, and get alerted when disease risk is elevated based on soil conditions. Best used on your most critical putting surfaces.2–4 Fairway and Tee Indicators
Track moisture for application timing and disease risk alerts on fairways and tees.1–2 Salt Flushing Sensors
Salinity monitoring on greens — especially important on coastal courses or where recycled water is used for irrigation.1–2 Clubhouse Landscaping
Extend monitoring to ornamental and landscape areas around the clubhouse.
Sports Turf
Sports turf managers use sensors to track moisture and temperature across high-traffic zones, prevent infield cracking, and manage areas with modified maintenance programs.
Recommended placements
4 Infield / Outfield Grass — Football, Baseball, or Soccer
Monitor moisture and soil temperature in both wet and dry locations across the playing surface.4 Infield Clay or Endzone / Goal Mouth
Track moisture in high-traffic areas to prevent cracking and manage soil conditions where surface damage is most likely.2 Foul Lines or Sidelines
Cover areas with moderate shade or modified maintenance programs.
Landscape
Landscape managers place sensors across different zones to manage irrigation, track conditions for weed and pest timing, and document results for clients.
Recommended placements
2 Parking Lot Islands
Salt deposit tracking and water management in high-stress areas.2 High-Visibility Lawn
Temperature tracking for weed seed germination timing.2 Lawn Perimeter
Partial shade and non-irrigated moisture tracking.2 Focal Gardens
Precision water management in ornamental or client-facing planting areas.1 Sloped Lawn
Water infiltration tracking on challenging gradients.1 Low Area
Moisture monitoring in drainage-prone zones to prevent overwatering or runoff issues.
Sod Production
Sod producers place sensors based on their irrigation system — one per pivot zone is the standard starting point.
Recommended placements
One sensor per pivot
Determine your sensor count based on the number of pivot irrigation zones in your operation.Use cases include moisture management, application timing, and remote monitoring across large production areas.
