NASTEK PLANT STRESS DETECTION GLASSES |
Technology developed by NASA scientists, now
lets you spot stressed turf close up or at a
distance, with plenty of time to react to
correct unhealthy conditions.
These unique lenses
block out green color reflected from
chlorophyll in healthy turf, causing it to
look black or gray. Since the human eye is
so sensitive to light in the green color
range, any off green color(s) (caused by
disease, water, or pests) will stand out
against the black background as glowing red,
coral, pink or other hues…allowing problem
turf to be quickly identified. What was
invisible is now seen.
