근적외선 분광분석기를 이용한 잔디 생체잎의 질소 함량 측정을 위한 검량식 개발

Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy(NIRS) is a quick, accurate, and non-destructive method to measure multiple nutrient components in plant leaves. This study was to acquire a liner regression equation by evaluating the nutrient contents of 'CY2' creeping bentgrass rapidly and accurately using NIRS. In particular, nitrogen fertility is a primary element to keep maintaining good quality of turfgrass. Nitrogen, moisture, carbohydrate, and starch were assessed and analyzed from 'CY2' creeping bentgrass clippings. A linear regression equation was obtained from accessing NIRS values from NIR spectrophotometer(NIR system, Model XDS, XM-1100 series, FOSS, Sweden) programmed with WinISI III project manager v1.50e and ISIscan(R) (Infrasoft International) and calibrated with laboratory values via chemical analysis from an authorized institute. The equation was formulated as MPLS(modified partial least squares) analyzing laboratory values and mathematically pre-treated spectra. The accuracy of the acquired equation was confirmed with SEP(standard error of prediction), which indicated as correlation coefficient($r^2$) and prediction error of sample unacquainted, followed by the verification of model equation of real values and these monitoring results. As results of monitoring, $r^2$ of nitrogen, moisture, and carbohydrate in 'CY2' creeping bentgrass was 0.840, 0.904, and 0.944, respectively. SEP was 0.066, 1.868, and 0.601, respectively. After outlier treatment, $r^2$ was 0.892, 0.925, and 0.971, while SEP was 0.052, 1.577, and 0.394, respectively, which totally showed a high correlation. However, $r^2$ of starch was 0.464, which appeared a low correlation. Thereof, the verified equation appearing higher $r^2$ of nitrogen, moisture, and carbohydrate showed its higher accuracy of prediction model, which finally could be put into practical use for turf management system.

Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy(NIRS)는 짧은 시간 안에 식물의 다양한 영양소를 동시에 정확하고 빠르게 측정할 수 있다. 본 연구는 creeping bentgrass 'CY2' 엽의 여러 가지 기본 요소의 값을 예측하기 위해서 NIRS(근적의선 분광분석기)를 사용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, 질소와 수분 그리고 탄수화물의 $r^2$은 각각 0.892, 0.925, 0.971이었다. 검량식에 대한 검증에서 $r^2$이 높은 상관관계를 나타냈으므로, 잔디에서 더 많은 연구를 위한 실용화 가능성을 확인 할 수 있었다.
