Summarize standard applications, analytical performance, and selection criteria for adopting near infrared reflectance spectroscopy across routine plant and forage analyses.
Evaluated standardized methodologies approved by International Standards Committees for determining protein, moisture, and hardness in grains and acid detergent fibre in forages.
Assessed operational parameters including sample preparation, turnaround time, cost-effectiveness, chemical reagent requirements, and multi-constituent detection capabilities across diverse plant species.
Near infrared spectroscopy delivers simultaneous, non-destructive quantification of multiple constituents without requiring hazardous chemical reagents or intensive sample processing.
The method provides precision and accuracy comparable to, or exceeding, standard reference wet-chemistry assays when proper calibration procedures are maintained.
