Background • Triticale: crossing between wheat and rye. • Greater vigor and yield than their parents. • Need efficient end-use properties measurements. • Evaluate the use of wheat calibration for triticale protein and moisture prediction. • Develop triticale specific calibrations. • Evaluate the use of preprocessing methods.
Material and Methods • Triticale samples over 4-years trials. • 4 transmittance and 2 reflectance instruments. • Wheat calibrations from two instrument vendors. • PLS regression method. • Preprocessing methods: • Accepted by on-board instrument software: Autoscaling and Mean centering • Advanced methods 2nd derivative, SNV, and MSC
Results – Use of wheat models Protein predictions Moisture predictions Protein calibrations: Efficient the two first years. Moisture calibrations: Usable for screening the first year, useless after.
Results – Triticale specific models Protein predictions Moisture predictions Protein calibrations: Advanced pretreatments gave better results (α = 0.05). Moisture calibrations: No significant difference (α = 0.05).
Conclusions • Use of wheat calibration is not recommended. • Advanced preprocessing methods gave better results with protein but not with moisture. • The effect of preprocessing methods is instrument and parameter dependent. • Additional samples from next years are needed.
