Fig. 1. Graphical illustration of the predicted residual sum of squares (PRESS) vs. the number of factors used in the partial least-squares regression model.
Fig. 2. Mean spectral reflectance for each of the three N treatments on 22 July 2002 in Gilbert, IA, on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.). Similar trends were observed for all sampling dates in 2002 and 2003.
Fig. 3. Predicted versus actual tissue N concentration for all data collected in 2002 and 2003 from creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) obtained using partial least-squares regression to relate spectral reflectance data in the visible/near-infrared wavelength range to the reference tissue N concentration values. The graphed line represents a 1:1 relationship. SEP, standard error of prediction.
