NZ Cricket First Class Venue WOFS

Project: NZ Cricket First Class Venue WOFS

Client: New Zealand Cricket

Timeframe: 2017

SSDM was directly engaged as the preferred agronomy provider for New Zealand Cricket, to carry out a number of independent WOFs at a selection of first class cricket venues in New Zealand.

These WOFs typically involved measuring the performance of existing cricket blocks and outfields against a set of predetermined performance criteria.

Testing criteria included:

• Surface infiltration measurement
• Organic matter (%) content of block and outfield
• Surface species composition of outfield
• Block performance
• Soil nutrient analysis

SSDM developed a purpose made 'Dashboard' that provided the client with a quick reference and 'easy to read' interpretation of the results alon with recommended remedial actions.
