In Turf grasses Color is normally determined by a Scale from 1-9, given by Beard, If i want to make a new scale and use for Turf Color determination, for example, from 1-8, it is possible ??? Can I use.....
Dear Muhammad
In general, nothing is impossible. However, the question is, why?...
It is unclear from your question what is a reason you want to use your own scales and why do you try to avoid the common aproaches...
Dear Muhammad.
If you want to quantifying the leaf color for detailed approach. Try to take a digital photo of your leaf and read RGB value of the leaf color, after that convert the RBG value to DGCI (Dark Green Color Intensity).
Better to follow already established color schemes for better understanding of readers. to develop your own color scheme lot of data and then its recognition by other will be required so that latter the readers could benefit from it.
If you're looking for a very simple scale, there's one in the range green to yellow for the background (non-flush) colour of apples as they approach maturity. Whether it could be used for grasses is another matter.
i think, standardization of your scale will be required. Better to consider one which is already standardizes and recognized for research purpose.
It is always better to use a known and recognized colour scale for research purpose. I suggest to use Royal Horticulture Society(RHS) colour chart for colour characterization of any plant part.
Valuable answers......
Its better to use already established methods
Thanks to all
It is better to use already available 1-9 scale. For more information on grasses you can also contact Scientists from IARI(Indian Agricultural Research Institute), New Delhi and refer book "Turf grasses" written by IARI Scientist
