Near infrared spectrometer used in combination with an agricultural implement for real time grain and forage analysis

摘要: An apparatus and method for combining NIR spectography with an implement including a combine or chopper measuring major constituents of harvested products in real time includes monochromator other sensor having no moving optical parts. The fixed diffraction grating photodiode collector comprised plurality photodiodes. A radiation source irradiates product sample the reflected is transmitted to grating. By analyzing intensities wavelengths at collector, presence amount can be determined. present invention may used on research along conventional instrumentation which measures weight, moisture, volume test plot.
