Use of near-infrared spectroscopy and multivariate approach for estimating silage fermentation quality from freshly harvested maize

The study aimed to evaluate the most predictive traits of fresh maize and the most appropriate multivariate approach for estimating silage fermentation quality. The use of near infrared (NIRs) instruments allowed rapid, accurate and cheap analysis. Samples of fresh maize plant (n = 822) from hybrids...
