STRI Research Day’s main goal was to gain exclusive insights in STRI’s daily activities with a guided tour around the research trial grounds. Seven separate demo sessions were showcased towards the participants with the purpose to activate discussions amongst the pitch experts present and to collect their thoughts regarding the innovative products, machinery and techniques that were trialed and tested by the STRI professionals.
A brief overview of the topics that were presented and discussed:
- Bespoke multipurpose pitch solutions: a pitch changeover system that significantly reduces the time needed to change between sports and concerts
- Fungicide trials: preventive vs conventional approaches to disease control
- Sky maintenance: use of drones in daily pitch management
- Disease control and nutritional program trial
- Every seed counts: application timings and new fungicide technologie
