Soil data, disease pressure, and spray timing - in one morning glance.
RootView keeps you in cycle, turning in-ground sensor data, local weather, and peer-reviewed turf models into today's plan: what to water, what's at risk, and exactly when to apply. Built for the phone in your pocket.
Dollar spot, anthracnose, Pythium blight, summer patch, take-all, brown patch, leaf spot, root dysfunction, plus crabgrass pre-emergent and Poa seedhead PGR windows.
What RootView does
One platform for soil, irrigation, disease, and timing.
Live rootzone data, Rain Bird run history, transparent disease models, and application windows, keeping superintendents in cycle across irrigation, disease control, and spray timing.
Rootzone, live
Live soil monitoring
Soil moisture (% VWC), soil temperature, EC, and pH from in-ground sensors, per green and per zone. A morning scan shows what's too dry or not reporting, with a hand-watering route for your monitored greens.
Volumetric water content, temperature, EC, and pH per green/zone
LoRaWAN (cellular or ethernet gateway) or cellular LTE-M / NB-IoT - no gateway required
Morning scan flags dry greens and sensors that stopped reporting
Hand-watering route so the crew only touches the greens that need it
Transparent, not a black box
Disease pressure models
RootView runs published, peer-reviewed turf-pathology models and always shows the math and the citation. Validated probability models plus clearly-labeled favorability flags, so you time fungicide applications to real pressure, not a fixed rotation.
Validated: Smith-Kerns dollar spot, anthracnose severity, Pythium blight
Every model gated to the turf species that actually hosts the pathogen
Spray when pressure rises, skip passes when conditions don't warrant it
Keeping you in cycle
Application-timing windows (GDD)
Growing-degree-day windows keep you in cycle on pre-emergent and PGR applications, shown as OPEN, CLOSING, or PAST so you time sprays to the turf, cut wasteful passes, and act with confidence before the window closes.
Crabgrass pre-emergent GDD window
Poa annua seedhead-suppression PGR window
OPEN to CLOSING to PAST timeline tracked against your local accumulation
Fewer calendar-driven sprays, more confidence in every application window
The inputs behind the models
Local weather feed
Hourly conditions and a daily forecast, temperature, humidity, precipitation, ET0, and wind, that also feed the disease and GDD models so every recommendation reflects your actual weather.
Hourly conditions and multi-day forecast
Temp, humidity, precipitation, ET0, and wind
Feeds directly into disease pressure and GDD accumulation
Water applied, on the record
Rain Bird irrigation data
Connect your Rain Bird system and pull run times, zones, and application history into RootView, so what you irrigated sits on the same screen as soil moisture, ET0, and disease pressure.
Rain Bird run data synced into the platform
Zone runtimes and irrigation history alongside rootzone readings
No more exporting CSVs or reconciling a third system by hand
The whole season, logged
Season tracking
Growth (GDD), clipping-volume logging, nutrition and product logging, soil-test import, Rain Bird irrigation history, and a course event log, the running record that keeps your application cycle and care routines fine-tuned.
Clipping volume and yield tracked through the season
Soil tests, Rain Bird runs, and product logs in one timeline
Course event log tied to the same dashboard as disease and moisture
Lab results, not lock-ins
Soil-test nutrition planning
Upload soil-sample test results and pair them with clipping volume. RootView runs them through AI models to suggest application products for your greens, or show individual chemicals and rates when you'd rather mix your own tank.
Import lab soil tests - nutrients, pH, and organic matter
Clipping volume feeds recommendations so growth rate shapes the plan
AI-suggested products or single-ingredient chemistries you source yourself
Your program - not a manufacturer-bundled PredictN7-style workflow
Grounded in your data
Ask about your course
A plain-language assistant that answers using only your own sensor, weather, irrigation, disease, and event data, and shows the numbers behind every answer. No generic advice, no guesswork.

Built for the field
Built for a crew
Invite-only, role-based access for course admins and members, multi-course support for management groups, and a mobile-first interface built for the phone in your pocket in bright sun.

Mobile-first, high-contrast, built for direct sunlight
Transparent, not a black box
Every risk shows the formula and the paper.
RootView runs published turf-pathology models and always shows the math and the citation. Validated probability models are labeled as such; favorability flags are clearly labeled as conditions, not probabilities.
Citation: Smith, Kerns, et al. (2018), a logistic-regression dollar spot warning model. Shown in-product, every day.

Keeping you in cycle
Time applications to the turf - not the calendar.
RootView ties disease pressure, GDD windows, and your season log together so you spray when conditions call for it, not a week early out of habit or a day late because the window closed. Fewer wasted passes, tighter care routines, and more confidence in every application decision.
Disease models flag rising pressure, spray ahead of infection, not behind it
GDD windows show OPEN, CLOSING, PAST so pre-emergent and PGR land in the right moment
Season product and event logs keep your program fine-tuned across the whole cycle
One morning read replaces calendar guesswork and reactive firefighting
Four steps from install to a morning read you can trust.
01
Install the sensors
Place in-ground sensors in the greens and zones you want to monitor. Choose LoRaWAN (with a cellular or ethernet gateway) or cellular LTE-M / NB-IoT sensors that need no gateway. Industrial Li-SOCl2 packs run 5+ years - install and forget.
02
Data streams in
Soil moisture, temperature, EC, and pH stream back over LoRaWAN via your gateway, or directly from cellular sensors, alongside local weather and Rain Bird irrigation run data.
03
Models run daily
Peer-reviewed disease models and GDD application windows run against your live data every morning, with the math and citation shown.
04
Stay in cycle
One morning glance: moisture targets, disease pressure, and application windows aligned, so you spray with confidence, skip what the turf doesn't need, and keep care routines fine-tuned through the season.
Soil tests + clipping volume
Nutrition planning from your lab results - not a manufacturer script.
Upload soil-sample test results and log clipping volume. RootView runs them through AI models to suggest application products matched to your greens, or switch to individual chemicals and rates when you'd rather build the tank mix yourself.
Import lab soil tests - macro and micro nutrients, pH, and organic matter
Clipping volume logged alongside tests so recommendations reflect growth
Product suggestions from AI, or drill into single-ingredient chemistries
Your program - not a bundled PredictN7-style partnership lock-in
Balanced N-P-K adjustment with micronutrient top-up, aligned to clipping yield and current soil reserves.
Or mix your own

Individual chemistries with rates, for supers who source their own inputs.
Clipping volume: 0.42 L/m² · 7-day average
Ask about your course
A grounded assistant that shows its work.
Ask in plain language and get answers built from only your own sensor, weather, disease, and event data, with the numbers behind every answer. No generic advice, no guesswork.
