The Power of Your SmartPhone...for Turf Health! •Quantify turf color and quality •Identify turf stress before it’s too late •Help manage fertilization and irrigation practices The FieldScout GreenIndex+ Turf app utilizes the latest advancements in technology to measure plant health via the chlorophyll content (relative greenness) of turf using a smartphone camera. The app captures turfgrass images with a smartphone, calculates the Dark Green Color Index (DGCI), and displays a visual rating. Users can customize the visual rating calculation for different species of grass and specific plots of land. Measurements can be compared to identify variability or trends in turf health across golf course greens and fairways, as well as other sports fields, providing valuable data for decisions regarding fertilization and irrigation. Additional applications include lawn care and commercial turf for better nutrient management. The data is logged and geo-referenced, and can be emailed to a personal computer for further analysis.
