Determination of a Multivariate Indicator of Nitrogen Imbalance (MINI) in Potato Using Reflectance and Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the potential of reflectance and fluorescence for the detection of the Compositional Nutrient Diagnosis (CND) N index ( I N ). The CND reflects nutrient deficiencies as well as nutrient interactions, contrary to conventional methods of nutrient stress detection. Potato plants ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Superior) were grown in a greenhouse, and three different nutrient deficiencies (K, Mg, and N) were induced at three levels and compared with a control receiving a complete nutrient solution. Nitrogen deficiency induced a significant biomass reduction compared with control plants whereas no significant effect was observed for K or Mg treatments. Foliar analyses were realized to compute the CND_ r 2 using the CND. The ANOVA conducted on CND_ r 2 and I N showed significant differences only between N‐deficient and control plants. Using a canonical discriminant analysis over reflectance and fluorescence indices, it was possible to correctly classify 96.6% of potato plants in its corresponding I N class. A new Multivariate Indicator of Nitrogen Imbalance (MINI) was developed using the canonical variable computed from reflectance and fluorescence indices. The MINI can detect almost 70% of the N‐deficient plants and more than 90% of the N‐sufficient plants. This indicator allows a rapid data acquisition and handling and provides deficiency detection within the time‐window for plant response to recovery fertilization.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
