POTENTIALS (ADVANCING SPECTROSCOPIC TECHNIQUES FOR IN SITU SOIL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS)

Objective

The goal of this proposal is to enable the practical application of spectroscopy for in situ soil health assessment. The specific objectives are:Investigate and evaluate different spectroscopic techniques for soil health assessmentStudy the effects of sample conditions on soil spectra and mitigation strategiesDesign, develop, and test an integrated spectroscopic soil sensing system (iS4) to enable accurate, rapid, and efficient 3-D mapping of soil health parameters
