Why use Plant Color Charts?

The color of plant tissues reflects the influence of light, critical temperatures, and the chemical composition of the soil, especially if the soil is deficient in certain essential or non-essential nutrient elements.

Sometimes plant color indicates the genetic origin of plants, the impact of toxic substances, or the activity of parasitic organisms.

Plant Color Charts provide scientists, students, and plant breeders with the information needed to respond to problems related to taxonomy, genetics, physiology, pathology, and plant nutrition.
