Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, non-destructive, less labor-intensive analysis to determine plant nutrients. NIRS analysis has acquired importance over time due to its advantages with laboratory instrumental techniques. It is an alternative to the chemical methods used to determine plant nutrients. 
This study aims to carry out the NIR calibrations for stem in canola, maize, and sorghum and evaluate the feasibility of using NIR to estimate WSC content (mg.g¯¹).
