Meteoturf

In 2015 this forecasting service was improved to feature a specific turf-related forecasting module called Meteoturf. This transforms forecasted temperatures into growth

prediction models using Growth-Degree-Days and Growth Potential. This enables end-users to see the pattern of predicted growth over the coming week, allowing them to identify uptake windows for fertilisers, growth regulators and pesticides. It also predicts potential growth flushes and periods of plant stress, facilitating a proactive rather than reactive approach to turf management.
