Post-season baseball field

Images collected by John Scott, Digital Agriculture Extension Coordinator, Purdue Extension

This stitched orthomosaic image and plant health image was taken in September after baseball season as a way to see how the turf had been managed. The lines indicated a recent mowing, and we notice a few rough areas in the outfield. Further validation or ground-truthing needs to occur to identify the exact problem before any corrective action can be recommended.
