Calibration Methods

The accuracy of estimates of plant properties based on near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) varies with many factors including the biological material in question and the method used to calibrate the NIRS instrument. This study investigated the accuracy, relative to Kjeldahl analysis, of NIRS analysis based on two calibration methods in estimating nitrogen concentration of four stages and/or parts of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plants. Samples of whole top growth at anthesis, whole top growth at maturity, whole top growth at maturity excluding seeds, and seeds were obtained from two field trials and one phytotron experiment. Two Kjeldahl determinations of nitrogen concentration were obtained for each sample, as well as reflectance values at each of 19 infrared wavelengths, using a Technicon InfraAlyser 400R. Different subsets of the sample data were used for calibration and assessment of accuracy. The instrument was calibrated using stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) and principal component regression (PCR). The residual maximum likelihood procedure was useful in showing that NIRS estimates based on either SMLR or PCR were at least as accurate as Kjeldahl estimates for all stages and/or parts except whole top growth at maturity excluding seeds. Key words: Calibration, principal component regression, stepwise regression
