1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a first attribute, the first attribute being indicative of a characteristic of grass produced by a first grass seed species;
receiving a second attribute, the second attribute being indicative of the characteristic relative to grass produced by a second grass seed species;
receiving an indication of a grass seed mixture, the indication including information related to relative amounts of the first and second seed species in the grass seed mixture;
determining a third attribute, the third attribute being indicative of the characteristic relative to grass produced by the grass seed mixture; and
providing output indicative of the third attribute.

Abstract
One embodiment of a method for evaluating a mixture of turfgrass seed includes storing turfgrass seed information in a database (e.g., a computer readable storage medium). A user provides computer input indicative of a mixture of turfgrass seeds Information related to the indicated mixture is retrieved from the database. Based at least in part on the retrieved data, a user interface is created and presented to the user. In one embodiment, the user interface is a graph format display that enables the user to directly compare characteristics of the indicated mixture with characteristics of one or more different mixtures.

9. A system for providing grass seed information, the system comprising:
-
a database that contains a collection of attributes associated with first and second seed species; an analysis component that calculates, based at least in part on the collection of attributes, a collection of the same attributes relative to a mixture that contains the first and second seed species; and a user interface component that generates and provides a user interface that includes an indication of the collection of attributes calculated by the analysis component. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A user interface system for providing grass seed information, comprising:
-
a user interface component that facilitates a first user selection, the first user selection being indicative of a first mixture of grass seeds; a second user interface component that facilitates a second user selection, the second user selection being indicative of a second mixture of grass seeds; a user interface that displays, based at least in part on the first and second user selections, characteristics of the first mixture of grass seeds relative to characteristics of the second mixture of grass seeds. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
