Munsell Plant Tissue Color Book

The quick way to assess and communicate plant tissue color

If you’re a botanist or scientist, the 17 Munsell Plant Tissue Color Charts in this book offer a fast, convenient method for identifying and communicating plant tissue color. The color of plant tissue can say a lot about what’s going on in the surrounding ecosystem, including clues about how much light is present, critical temperatures, and the soil’s chemical composition – particularly whether important nutrients are deficient or missing. Plant tissue color can also reveal information about the genetic origin of plants, the effect of toxic substances, or the presence of parasitic organisms.

Munsell Plant Color Charts provide scientists, students, and plant growers with information needed to respond to problems related to taxonomy, genetics, physiology, pathology, and plant nutrition. Included charts help you diagnose adverse conditions responsible for plant deterioration. Your thumb may be green, but this handy, portable reference book of charts helps ensure your plant tissues are, too!
