Protect quality by catching issues before they spread
Know When Turfgrass Is in Trouble
Turfgrass health can change in hours, and the earlier you catch a problem, the easier it is to fix. By the time damage is visible, photosynthesis may already be reduced, growth may be stalled, and recovery could require expensive repairs.
Hawk-Eye gives you an early warning system, detecting stress before it’s apparent to the naked eye and telling you exactly what’s causing it.
Whether it’s heat stress from a sweltering day, water or nutrient imbalance, pest invasion, or wear from heavy traffic, Hawk-Eye identifies the issue and pinpoints the location. That means you can act quickly, target your efforts, and protect the overall quality of your greens.
With Hawk-Eye, you’ll know the most effective and cost-efficient way to respond — from adjusting irrigation or running cooling fans to applying targeted herbicides or nutrients. This precision reduces wasted treatments, saves resources, and helps avoid major remediation work that can cost as much as $150,000 for a single green.
See problems before they spread
Hawk-Eye constantly monitors for both abiotic stress factors, such as heat and water imbalance, and biotic stress factors, such as insects, weeds, and disease. By understanding the source of the stress, you can address it directly instead of relying on blanket treatments.
For example, during periods of high canopy temperature, Hawk-Eye can recommend activating fans, using hydronics, adding shade, or adjusting watering schedules to keep photosynthesis on track without affecting playability. If the problem is nutrient-related, it will tell you exactly where to apply supplements. When pests or diseases are the culprit, Hawk-Eye ensures you treat only the affected areas, preventing unnecessary chemical use.
Smarter Irrigation and Cooling Decisions
Water and electricity are major expenses for any course. Hawk-Eye’s proprietary Hue Degree Calculator and Stress Index let you know precisely when your turf needs water and when it’s already had enough. The same level of precision applies to cooling fans, which consume significant electricity. Hawk-Eye tells you the right time to turn them on and the right time to shut them down.
By using data to guide these decisions, you maintain healthier turf while reducing operational costs and conserving resources.
With Hawk-Eye, instead of reacting to turf problems, you prevent them. The system gives you the confidence to know exactly what’s happening on your greens, why it’s happening, and the smartest way to fix it before it impacts play.
