Abstract: Apparatus for determining an agricultural condition in an agricultural environment, the apparatus including one or more processing devices configured to acquire spectral data by measuring sample radiation at least one of reflected from and transmitted through an agricultural sample obtained from the agricultural environment, use the spectral data and at least one computational model to determine an agricultural condition, the computational model embodying relationships between the spectral data and different agricultural conditions and use the agricultural condition to determine an indicator indicative of at least one of: the agricultural condition and an intervention to improve the agricultural condition.
