Ongoing maintenance of turf-based playing surfaces

Playing surface managers must be aware that irrigation is not the only requirement for maintaining playing surfaces and other appropriate management measures will need to be adopted.

• aeration
• fertilisation
• soil moisture monitoring
• irrigation system auditing
