Detecting plants physiological status by near infra-red (NIR) reading of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC)
Research team: Tarin Kagan, OrSperling, Zeev Shmilo, and Uri Yermiyahu
We established the potential of sensing trees’ productivity by NSC status and its feasibility by NIR spectroscopy readings on dried and homogenized root and leaf samples from almond trees. We applied two spectrometers with different spectral range to evaluate the accuracy of the sensors. We verify and expand the model so we could use it in our physiological studies as part of the N-C interactions.
