Title:
Potato Petiole Spectrum Acquisition and Analysis
Agreement Number:
975430
Agreement Value:
$29,999.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 15, 2021 - Mar 31, 2022
Description:
The project consists of acquiring and conventionally measuring the nutrient content (Nitrate-Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, etc.) in 800 potato petiole samples across nine farms, 60 fields, and three New Brunswick counties. The Visible-Near Infrared spectra of the samples will also be measured. Chemometric models that estimate the nutrient content in potato plants from the Visible-Near Infrared spectra will be trained using the spectral data as the predictor variable and the conventional measurements as the response variable.
