Spectroscopic analysis (UV-VIS-NIR) for predictive modeling of macro and micronutrients in grapevine leaves by J.I. Manzano, M. Rodríguez-Febereiro, M. Fandiño, M. Vilanova, J.J. Cancela

“…The ultraviolet (UV) range played a minor role, highlighting the predominant importance of the VIS-NIR regions in spectroscopic analyses.Finally, the results support the potential of this technique for swiftly and non-invasively predicting both macro and micronutrient levels in grapevine plants, and facilitate the fertilization planning using variety-specific reference levels, or precision viticulture adapted to site-specific demands, including spatial intra-plot variability.…”
