Potato Petiole Spectrum Acquisition and Analysis
FY 2021-22 · 2021-07-15
Summary
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.

Description (French)
Le projet consiste à acquérir et à mesurer de manière conventionnelle la teneur en nutriments (azote-nitrate, phosphore, potassium, etc.) de 800 échantillons de pétioles de pommes de terre dans neuf fermes, 60 champs et trois comtés du Nouveau-Brunswick. Les caractéristiques spectrales dans l'infrarouge proche et visible des échantillons seront également mesurées. Des modèles chimiométriques permettant d'estimer la teneur en nutriments des plants de pommes de terre à partir des spectres dans l'infrarouge proche et visible seront formés, et ce, en utilisant les données spectrales comme variable prédictive et les mesures conventionnelles comme variable de réponse.
Expected Results
The purpose of IRAP’s Youth Employment Program is to assist in increasing the supply of highly qualified people, promoting the benefits of advanced studies, demonstrating federal leadership by investing in the skills required to meet the needs of the knowledge economy and facilitating the transition of highly skilled young people to a rapidly changing labour market.
