“…Photonic techniques and machine learning algorithms have been extensively used to improve agricultural management in the past few years, mainly due to their high accuracy associated with their fast response, low analytical cost, simplified sample preparation, and environmentally clean techniques [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Recently, our research group demonstrated the potential application of the Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for seed vigor classification [ 5 , 8 , 13 ].…”
