I am interested to know the application of NIR technique in analyzing sugarcane for payment basis. If anyone had idea to apply this technique please share it. Thank you | ||

NIR is used successfuly in Australia, Philippines and Fiji and other industries are on the cusp of the application. FOSS has systems for analysing sugarcane directly as factory prepared cane through a window in the 1st mill of the milling train. This is an on-line automated system with results available to payment and process control infrastructure for every individual delivery to a factory. Another system is complete with cutter grinder and for example is used for analysing samples retreived by core sampler at the weighbridge. Again every truck or delivery is provided with a set of results. Typically results for fiber, pol in juice, pol in cane, brix in juice, brix in cane, moisture, dry matter, total ash, CCS, pol in open cell, Phosphate, alcohol, trash or extranuous matter are provided with high levels of accuracy. Some work has been done on agronomic indicators such as N,P and K. Again for every delivery. Please contact me at [email protected] if you wish further details. Chances are we are already doing work in your area. regards Chris Henderson | ||

Chris, This discussion group setup is restricted to non-commercial messages. Yours appears to be that to me. In the future, if you see an opportunity to correspond with someone, post a message saying something like, "Please contact me at ... I believe I can help you." | ||

Bruce, The depth of Chris Henderson's reply was of interest to me, even though I am not in the field. There must be some happy medium between "contact me" and all of the detail that Chris supplied. For example, it was interesting how the cane was sampled and where in the world it was sampled, as well as what was being quantified and how successfully. Kathryn |
