Moisture and protein content of alfalfa samples from Catalonia (Spain) have been analyzed
by near-infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and multivariate calibration methods …

This paper deals with the problem of how to utilize a large calibration set with 10 different
analytes in order to make the best predictions possible on a routine basis. Ten different …

Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is often applied when a rapid quantification of
major components in feed is required. This technique is preferred over the other analytical …

Quality parameters of grassland and pasture samples collected during a three-year period at
two environmentally and geographically different areas were analysed by Near Infrared …

Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was evaluated for the determination of
protein, crude fiber (CF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in …

Near‐infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to predict the dry matter (DM) and
crude protein (CP) contents of untreated forage samples. Four hundred forage samples …

Soybean and sunflower are summer annuals that can be grown as an alternative to corn
and may be particularly useful in organic production systems for forage in addition to their …

The selection of F (R) or (1/R) as the metric for quantitative diffuse reflection spectrometry
depends on the application and on the spectral region. For mid-infrared measurements …

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was evaluated for the prediction of the protein
content in samples of grassland herbage taken at different stages of maturity (flowering to …

A procedure for the transfer of the regression equation in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS),
from a first instrument to a second instrument, is presented. The procedure uses partial least …
