description The levels of amylose and amylopectin in foxtail millet are important factors that influence grain quality. The application of organic fertilizers can affect the ratio of amylose and amylopectin components. These components are typically determined using chemical analysis methods, which are difficult to apply on a large scale for nutrient deficiency diagnosis and do not meet the original intention of precise agricultural development. This study set up five different gradient treatments for organic fertilizer (sheep manure) application. Hyperspectral imaging combined with chemometrics was employed to achieve rapid and non-destructive detection of the content of amylose and amylopectin in foxtail millet flour. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal dosage of organic fertilizers for application. Spectral data preprocessing used multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), and the combined algorithm of competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), random frog (RF), and iterated retaining informative variables (IRIVs) was employed for key band extraction. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was then used to establish the prediction model and regression equation, which was used to visualize the two components. Results demonstrated that the key band extraction combined algorithm effectively reduced data dimension without compromising the accuracy of the prediction model. The prediction model for amylose using MSC–RF–IRIV–PLSR exhibited good performance, with the correlation coefficient (R) and root mean square error (RMSE) predicted to be 0.73 and 1.23 g/(100 g), respectively. Similarly, the prediction model for amylopectin using MSC–CARS–IRIV–PLSR also demonstrated good performance, with the R and RMSE values predicted to be 0.59 and 7.34 g/(100 g), respectively. The results of visualization and physicochemical determination showed that the amount of amylopectin accumulation was highest, and the amount of amylose was lowest, under the application of 22.5 t/ha of organic fertilizer. The experimental results offer valuable insights for the rapid detection of nutritional components in foxtail millet, serving as a basis for further research.
