description The paper presents the spectroscopic data obtained from a homemade NIR spectrometer developed for agricultural quality analysis, along with the calibration and validation of a model database for predicting agricultural soil properties. We collected NIR spectral data from 190 soil samples taken at a depth of 0-20 cm from agricultural areas in northern Thailand, including vegetable farms, orchards, and field crops. The acquisition process started by air-drying the soil and sieving it through 2.0 mm and 0.5 mm mesh. Six preprocessing techniques, including Savitzky-Golay smoothing, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), standard normal variate (SNV), first derivative, second derivative, and mean centering, were used with partial least squares (PLS) regression to create the prediction model for soil organic matter and total carbon. Seventy percent of the sample was divided into calibration and the remaining thirty percent was validation. The most suitable model for assessing soil organic matter (SOM) and total carbon is Savitzky-Golay smoothing through the PLSR model, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.79 and 0.78, a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.701% and 0.382% for validation samples, respectively. Thus, the NIR dataset spanning 900-1,700 nm proved to be an ideal wavelength range for developing a portable/handheld NIR spectrometer, with potential for further accuracy improvements through model refinement.
