Using vis-NIRS and Machine Learning methods to diagnose sugarcane soil chemical properties [PDF]
Knowing chemical soil properties might be determinant in crop management and total yield production. Traditional soil properties estimation approaches are time-consuming and require complex lab setups, refraining farmers from promptly taking steps towards optimal practices in their crops.
