Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy for analysis of sugarcane from clonal evaluation trials. I. Fibrated cane

Determination of quality components is important in assessing the economic merit of clones in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) evaluation trials. Laboratory throughput is limiting and analytical costs are high. This research aimed to assess near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy for analyzing fibrated can to resolve these problems. A replicated trial provided samples of cane
