This review addresses the applicability of visible (Vis), near-infrared (NIR), and mid-infrared
(MIR) reflectance spectroscopy for the prediction of soil properties. We address (1) the …

Based on the literature published in the past decade, we focus on the possibilities offered by
vibrational-spectroscopy-based techniques to make multi-component analysis of samples …

Near infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and different spectroscopic transforms were
investigated for their potential in detecting total viable counts in raw chicken fillets. A …

Using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for poultry litter characterization can be a rapid, non-
destructive, and low-cost alternative. This study aims to estimate the C, N, P, and K content …

Precision agriculture (PA) is a management method that measures and manages within-field
variability. Previously, PA has required expansive and time consuming measurement of soil …

Multivariate partial least-squares (PLS) calibration models have been developed for the
spatial and seasonal simultaneous monitoring of 14 trace elements (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu …

Abstract BACKGROUND Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has been traditionally used
as a foodstuff in the Andes and it has gained increasing interest in recent years owing to its …

Femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) has been used for the first
time for quantitative determination of nutrients in plant materials from different crops. A highly …

Background Heavy metal pollution in urban soil is an important indicator of environmental
pollution. Selecting the best interpolation method can accurately reflect the distribution …

Soil types have traditionally been determined by soil physical and chemical properties,
diagnostic horizons and pedogenic processes based on a given classification system. This …
