In this study, a rapid and non-destructive detection model for pesticide residues on leafy vegetables was presented using a developed portable spectrometer. VIS/NIR spectra of three vegetable samples, including lettuce, oriental mustard, and bok choy, were analyzed at the range of 380 – 840 nm. Stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) models were developed based on chemical reference measurements and the spectral information of the leaf samples after performing the pre-processing method. Furthermore, a data acquisition interface was developed by Matlab GUI. Results of SMLR procedure indicated good performance for detection of indoxacarb and chlorantraniliprole with R2 ≥ 0.90. A fairly good model (0.90 > R2 > 0.80) was obtained for carbendazim in lettuce, whereas a poor model was found for emamectin-benzoate with R2 ≤ 0.80. It was concluded that pesticide residues on leafy vegetables could be predicted using our developed handheld spectrometer. It can also be generalized for the prediction of other pesticide components in agricultural products.

Visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy can be used for fast and non-destructive safety assessment of agricultural products in terms of contamination by pesticide residues. This paper reports the development method and evaluation of a user-friendly portable system for the safety control of intact cucumbers by the absence/presence of pesticide residue based on Vis/NIR spectroscopy. The system’s software can also be generalized for the detection and monitoring of pesticide residues in other agricultural products if developing their appropriate models is feasible.

Abstract. Lakitan B, Kartika K, Widuri LI, Siaga E, Fadilah LN. 2021. Lesser-known ethnic leafy vegetables Talinum paniculatum grown at tropical ecosystem: Morphological traits and non-destructive estimation of total leaf area per branch. Biodiversitas 22: 4487-4495. Talinum paniculatum known as Java ginseng is an ethnic vegetable in Indonesia that has also been utilized as a medical plant. Young leaves are the primary economic part of T. paniculatum, which can be eaten fresh or cooked. This study was focused on characterizing morphological traits of T. panicultaum and developing a non-destructive yet accurate and reliable model for predicting total area per leaf cluster on each elongated branch per flush growth cycle. The non-destructive approach allows frequent and timely measurements. In addition, the developed model can be used as guidance for deciding the time to harvest for optimum yield. Results indicated that T. paniculatum flourished rapidly under wet tropical conditions, especially if they were propagated using stem cuttings. The plants produced more than 50 branches and more than 800 leaves, or on average produced more than 15 leaves per branch at the age of nine weeks after planting (WAP). The zero-intercept linear model using a combination of two traits of length x width (LW) as a predictor was accurate and reliable for predicting a single leaf area (R2 = 0.997). Meanwhile, the estimation of total area per leaf cluster was more accurate if three traits, i.e., number of leaves, the longest leaf, and the widest leaf in each cluster were used as predictors with the zero-intercept linear regression model (R2 = 0.984). However, the use of a single trait of length (L) and width (W) of the largest leaf within each cluster as a predictor in the power regression model exhibited moderately accurate prediction at the R2 = 0.883 and 0.724, respectively.
