USGA Summary Points:In the first two years of data from six Kentucky bluegrass trial locations, a new statistical analysis procedure, 'AMMI', was found to more accurately predict top-performing grasses than the standard statistical procedure 'ANOVA'. These results may help users of turfgrass data to better identify the best grasses. A study at the University of Illinois showed that two hand-held color meters accurately measured color and correlated well with human evaluations. A multispectral imaging system was less accurate in assessing turf color, was difficult to calibrate for density, texture, and quality ratings, and was slower to operate. Considering the additional time needed to collect ratings, the multispectral imaging system is not recommended to replace human visual evaluations at this time. Researchers at the University of Arkansas used a digital camera system and software to collect and analyze turfgrass data. Data on various characteristics, such as color and percent ground cover, are statistically repeatable using digital image analysis and correlate well with human evaluations (visual ratings). Turfgrass quality ratings computed from digital image analysis had a weaker correlation with human evaluations, although the digital quality ratings were more repeatable (consistent).
