NIR spectrometers and spectroradiometers are essential tools in determining the health of vegetation in the field. A field spectroradiometer such as the Spectral Evolution PSR+, allows researchers to investigate the health of vegetation, including crops by measuring plant stress. There are many factors that can affect plant health-lack of water/over watering, over/ under fertilization, pest infestation, poor drainage, lack of soil nutrients, and much more. Field NIR spectroscopy allows for the investigation of plant health and stress in situ. It is faster, less expensive and non-invasive when compared to traditional labbased analysis methods. In addition, one scan can collect data that can be analyzed for variety of characteristics.
