Abstract:
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, pioximal-sensed method that has proven useful in quantifying soil constituents mainly in laboratory. However, very little is known about how NIRS performs in a field setting by newly developed on-the-go NIRS measurements. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between on-the-go field NIRS measurements and soil texture in a glacial till soil. It was found that NIRS band combination based on difference, normalized difference and ratio could apparently improve the coefficient of relationship between NIRS and soil texture, and this might be a new and effective analytical procedure for field NIRS measurements.
