벼 영양진단에서 중요한 성분인 생체잎의 질소함량을 NIRS를 이용하여 신속하고 정확하게 분석하기 위해 최적의 검량식 작성에 관한 일련의 시험을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 벼 생체엽 질소함량 검량식의 결정계수는 익산, 정읍, 부안지역이 각각 0.879, 0.858, 0.819였다. Outlier를 제거한 후 검량식을 다시 작성한 결과 0.896, 0.878, $0.88\%$로 각각 0.017, 0.02, 0.061씩 향상되었다. Merge 기능을 이용하여 검량식을 합병한 후 검량식을 다시 작성한 결과 0.971로 정확도가 더욱 향상되었다. 벼 생체엽의 질소함량 검량식에 의한 분석값과 습식분석 평균값의 차이는 $0.001\%$를 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과로서 건조와 분쇄과정을 생략하기 때문에 시료의 변질을 막을 수 있고 시간과 비용을 줄일 수 있는 벼 생잎의 질소농도 측정이 근적외분석기술에 의해 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used as a tool for the rapid, accurate and nondestructive assay of the fresh rice leaf in nitrogen content. NIRS used in this study was visible and near infrared spectroscopy type instrument, Foss model 6500. To obtain a useful calibration equation, standard regression between the data was analyzed by chemical analysis and by NIRS method. Accuracy of calibration equation for nitrogen content on fresh leaf of rice were 0.879, 0.858 and 0.819, respectively. Accuracy of calibration equation after outlier treatment increased as 0.017, 0.02 and 0.061 improved each with 0.896, 0.878 and 0.880, respectively. Calibration equation combined using merge function after accuracy of calibration equation more increased by 0.911. Difference analysis value between calibration equation and lab value by kjeldahl showed $0.001\%$. With this as same result is the possibility of closing the deterioration of the sample in order to omit a construction and pulverization process it is judged with the fact that the nitrogen content measurement of the fresh rice leaf which the possibility of reducing an hour and an expense is by a near infrared spectroscopy technique will be possible.
