A chlorophyll-based agent for marking living greenery

Abstract

An outdoor marking product comprising a chlorophyll-based agent for highlighting living greenery. The chlorophyll-based agent can be non-detrimental to the health of the living greenery. When viewed by a viewer at a minimum predefined viewing distance, the living greenery treated with the chlorophyll-based agent can be visibly distinguishable from and shinier than neighboring untreated living greenery. When the viewer is nearer than the minimum predefined viewing distance, the difference in shine and color between the treated living greenery and the untreated living greenery can be substantially unnoticeable.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An outdoor marking product comprising:
 a chlorophyll-based agent for highlighting living greenery, wherein said chlorophyll-based agent is non-detrimental to a health of the living greenery, wherein, when viewed by a viewer at a minimum predefined viewing distance, living greenery treated with the chlorophyll-based agent is visibly distinguishable from and shinier than neighboring untreated living greenery, wherein, when the viewer is nearer than the minimum predefined viewing distance, a difference in shine and color between the treated living greenery and the untreated living greenery is substantially unnoticeable.   
     
     
         2 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein the living greenery comprises at least one of a ground cover, a grass, a moss, an ivy, foliage of a tree, foliage of a bush, foliage of a shrub, foliage of a plant, and a non-woody plant stem. 
     
     
         3 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein, when viewed at the minimum predefined viewing distance, the treated living greenery is recognizable as text. 
     
     
         4 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein, when viewed at the minimum predefined viewing distance, the treated living greenery is recognizable as a graphical image. 
     
     
         5 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein, when viewed at the minimum predefined viewing distance, the treated living greenery is recognizable as a line. 
     
     
         6 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein, when viewed at the minimum predefined viewing distance, the treated living greenery is recognizable as a geometric shape. 
     
     
         7 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein the living greenery is a part of one of a sports venue, an entertainment venue, an agricultural area, a forest, a nature park, a pasture, and a rainforest. 
     
     
         8 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein an application means for the chlorophyll-based agent comprises at least one of a brush, a roller, a sprayer, an aerosol can, and a machine that utilizes at least one such means. 
     
     
         9 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein a thickness of a coating of the chlorophyll-based agent on the treated living greenery provides a substantial degree of frost protection when said treated living greenery is exposed to frost-producing environmental conditions. 
     
     
         10 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein the viewer comprises one of a human being, a photographic camera, and a video camera. 
     
     
         11 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein the minimum predefined viewing distance is one meter. 
     
     
         12 . The marking product of  claim 1 , wherein the chlorophyll-based agent comprises at least an acrylic emulsion, water, bactericide, an antifoam agent, a wetting agent, a coalescent agent, a cellulose thickener, a pH regulator, a green pigment, and a chlorophyll pigment 
     
     
         13 . A landscaping method comprising:
 applying a chlorophyll-based agent to living greenery according to a predetermined pattern, wherein the chlorophyll-based agent increases shine and alters a shade of green of said living greenery when viewed by a viewer at a minimum predefined viewing distance, wherein said chlorophyll-based agent is non-detrimental to a health of the living greenery, wherein, when the viewer is nearer than the minimum predefined viewing distance, a difference in the shine and the shade of green between treated living greenery and untreated living greenery is substantially unnoticeable.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein an application means for the chlorophyll-based agent comprises at least one of a brush, a roller, a sprayer, an aerosol can, and a machine that utilizes at least one such means. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the viewer comprises one of a human being, a photographic camera, and a video camera. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the living greenery comprises at least one of a ground cover, a grass, a moss, an ivy, foliage of a tree, foliage of a bush, foliage of a shrub, foliage of a plant, and a non-woody plant stem. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the pattern comprises at least one of text, a geometric shape, a line, and a graphical image 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the minimum predefined viewing distance is one meter. 
     
     
         19 . A frost protection treatment comprising:
 a chlorophyll-based agent for mitigating harmful effects caused by frost to living greenery, wherein application of the chlorophyll-based agent creates a protective barrier upon surfaces of the living greenery, wherein said chlorophyll-based agent is non-detrimental to a health of the living greenery.   
     
     
         20 . The treatment of  claim 19 , wherein an application means for the chlorophyll-based agent comprises at least one of a brush, a roller, a sprayer, an aerosol can, and a machine that utilizes at least one such means.
