FieldScout GreenIndex+ Turf is a business application designed to measure turf health by analyzing chlorophyll content and calculating the Dark Green Color Index (DGCI).
DGCI is calculated by taking a picture of the turf with a specific color reference board and analyzing the green and yellow standard color areas. The app then computes a DGCI value between 0 and 1, indicating chlorophyll content.
For accurate DGCI calculations, pictures must include a color reference board with specific green and yellow standard color areas. The app requires a rear-camera-equipped iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad Mini, or iPad running iOS 6.0 or later.
No, for DGCI calculations to be accurate, pictures must include a color reference board with specific green and yellow standard color areas. These boards are available for purchase from www.specmeters.com/GreenIndexTurf.
Results are logged with time stamps and GPS information if Location Services are enabled. This data can be emailed for further analysis with other programs.
Yes, averaging can be selected to combine multiple samples into a single computation or to group related readings while maintaining separate data values.
FieldScout GreenIndex+ Turf is a paid application priced at $99.99.
The app was last updated on September 3, 2023, to version 3.0.4.
