Agronomy

Virtually every golf course in the UK and a great many sports clubs and local authorities engage the services of an agronomist on at least an annual basis for the purposes of independently reviewing conditions and advising on the most appropriate maintenance regimes in order to optimise their course/site.  To take advantage of the latest developments in sports turf and soil science, course and grounds managers need to be kept up-to-date; regular contact with an agronomist is a cost-effective means to achieve this.

TGMS Agronomy Service

As well as being problem solvers, TGMS agronomists are able to develop management plans that tackle the underlying causes of agronomic problems rather than just the symptoms.  Our agronomists look at the complete picture, identify deficiencies in turf and playing surface quality, analyse the fundamental causes for these deficiencies and develop practical solutions to address them.

We listen and carefully tailor our services to our clients requirements to offer the best independent advice in a format exclusively developed to meet your needs.  Our services include:

• Site visits to identify existing and potential management problems.
• Written reports detailing observations and confirming advice given on site.
• The development of management plans and maintenance schedules.
• Soil nutrient and plant tissue analysis and interpretation.
• Testing of materials (e.g. topdressing) to provide objective data with which to select the most appropriate material for the individual site.
• Assessment of soil conditions and profile constructions.
• Pest, disease and weed identification and recommendations for their control using both cultural and chemical techniques.
• Assistance with resource allocation.

TGMS have full access to state-of-the-art laboratories to undertake a complete suite of testing procedures for soil nutrient (minor and major plant nutrients), foliar analysis, particle size distribution, hydrophobicity, hydraulic behavior and pore space analysis.
