Turf Innovation in Action: Fargro Demonstrates Biological and Drone Technologies at Arundel Football Club

At Arundel Football Club, Fargro brought together leading experts and turf professionals to demonstrate how biological control and precision technology are redefining modern turf management.

The day showcased a live application of beneficial nematodes, presented by Dr Richard Binks from Koppert UK Ltd, highlighting how these microscopic allies can be applied through sprayers to target soil-borne pests naturally. By supporting healthier root systems and reducing reliance on chemical pesticides, nematodes are fast becoming a cornerstone of sustainable turf care.

Adding a technological edge, Kim Hein from Swarm Ops demonstrated how drone technology is transforming landscape management - from mapping turf health to delivering precise, efficient treatments. The ability to assess and act quickly allows turf managers to make informed, data-led decisions that enhance performance while supporting environmental goals.

Together, these innovations offer a clear path towards healthier, more resilient, and sustainable turf surfaces.
