## Abstract The use of a prototype near infrared reflectance meter for estimating the water content of soil is described. The instrument, developed from one used for estimating the water content of forage is based on the measurement of reflectance of infrared light emitted at wavelengths of 1450 nm

## A BS TRA CT A single calibration for the determination of moisture in white flour, ground wheat and whole wheat by near infrared (n.i.r.) reflectance analysis is presented. The predictive accuracy of the calibration compared with moisture determined by oven drying on 68 samples was 0.22%.
Variety identification by electrophoresis is not applicable to routine control in industry. In the present work, the feasibility of near infrared reflectance (n.i.r.) analysis was investigated. Two hundred and two wheat samples including 66 samples of six known varieties were collected and their n.i
