  • the invention also relates to a method for optimizing the content of at least one plant constituent of at least one plant at the time of harvesting the at least one plant.
  • Phytonutrients can be divided into primary phytochemicals and secondary phytochemicals.
  • the primary plant constituents include the substances that are essential for plant growth, such as chlorophyll. There are different types of chlorophyll that are common can occur in a plant.
  • the secondary plant constituents protect the plant against UV radiation, other weather influences and predators, for example.
  • many phytonutrients are considered beneficial for human health.
  • These secondary phytonutrients are especially formed by the plant under stress. The stress on the plant can be triggered, for example, by moisture, drought, heat, cold, carbon dioxide content in the air, shifting the day-to-night cycle, unfavorable lighting conditions, UV radiation, touching the plant or damaging the plant.
  • the complicated mechanisms behind it are not yet sufficiently understood.
  • the secondary plant constituents include, for example, alkaloids, amino acids, polyphenols, anthocyanins and flavonols. While the secondary plant constituents are mainly deposited in the epidermis of the leaves, i.e. near the leaf surface, chlorophyll occurs in the palisade tissue below the epidermis. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, most of which is used for photosynthesis. A part of the light energy that cannot be used but is nevertheless absorbed is emitted again in the form of fluorescence, the so-called chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF), in the area of the dark red color spectrum of light.
  • ChlF chlorophyll fluorescence
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of designing and developing the method of the type mentioned at the beginning and described in greater detail in such a way that the content of plant constituents, in particular secondary ones Plant constituents, can be determined and optimized more appropriately from at least part of a plant.
  • This object is achieved according to claim 1 by a method for determining the content of at least one plant ingredient of at least part of a plant,
  • the chlorophyll fluorescence is measured at least essentially the same wavelength and / or at least essentially the same wavelength range.
  • the stated object is also achieved according to claim 13 by a method for optimizing the content of at least one plant constituent of at least one plant at the time of harvesting the at least one plant,
  • the invention is based on the fact that light hitting a plant is absorbed to different degrees by primary and secondary plant constituents.
  • the unabsorbed light is partly reflected back by the plant (reflection) and partly passes through the plant (transmission), whereby the corresponding proportions can vary greatly from plant to plant and from wavelength to wavelength.
  • Many primary and secondary phytonutrients absorb light of different wavelengths to different degrees.
  • Some plant constituents absorb light in a very narrow wavelength range and others in a broader wavelength range, whereby the The proportion of the absorbed radiation also varies within the respective wavelength range and has an absorption maximum or several local absorption maxima in this wavelength range.
  • the proportion of the absorbed radiation plotted over the wavelength results in a more or less characteristic curve for many plant constituents.
  • the invention takes into account that the chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) of a plant, in particular a leaf, depends on how much light actually penetrates to the chlorophyll in the palisade tissue. The proportion of this light is lower, the more light is already absorbed in the epidermis by secondary plant constituents. Since this relationship occurs differently at different wavelengths, the at least one part of the at least one plant is irradiated with light of at least two different wavelengths and / or of at least two different wavelength ranges. In response to the irradiation with the first wavelength or the first wavelength range, the chlorophyll fluorescence is measured at a specific wavelength and / or in a specific wavelength range. The same occurs in response to the irradiation with the second wavelength or the second wavelength range. If necessary, the same thing also takes place in response to the irradiation with further wavelengths and / or wavelength ranges.
  • ChlF chlorophyll fluorescence
  • the wavelength ranges are very broad, the more different interactions overlap. Especially it is therefore preferred if the light for irradiating the at least one part of the sheet, that is to say the respective excitation radiation, is at least almost monochromatic. For practical reasons, it can be expedient to irradiate the at least part of the at least one plant with light sources which emit a certain wavelength range. LEDs are particularly suitable here, the light of which is almost, but not necessarily exactly, monochromatic, i.e. has only one wavelength.
  • the wavelength ranges preferably include wavelength intervals of less than 100 nm, preferably less than 50 nm, in particular less than 20 nm, further in particular less than 10 nm.
  • the measurement results of the chlorophyll fluorescence obtained in this way can be used to infer the content of at least one plant substance.
  • the chlorophyll fluorescence can be recorded over the entire wavelength range of the chlorophyll fluorescence.
  • the spectrum of the chlorophyll fluorescence can alternatively or additionally also be recorded when recording the chlorophyll fluorescence, it being conceivable that the wavelengths or the wavelength range are recorded at which or in which the chlorophyll fluorescence occurs.
  • the chlorophyll fluorescence can also be recorded depending on the wavelength of the chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum, ie the distribution or the “shape” of the chlorophyll fluorescence over the wavelength.
  • the determination of the spectrum of the chlorophyll fluorescence can also be limited to a wavelength range that is smaller than the entire wavelength range in which the chlorophyll fluorescence occurs.
  • the spectrum of the chlorophyll fluorescence can be recorded, for example, with a so-called hyperspectral camera.
  • hyperspectral camera Such cameras take pictures of a large number of closely spaced wavelengths.
  • hyperspectral data cubes can be formed that have two spatial dimensions (spatial directions) and one spectral dimension (spatial direction ).
  • the information about the chlorophyll fluorescence is then contained, for example as a kind of response function, for the purpose of evaluation.
  • the spectrum of chlorophyll fluorescence depends on plant-specific factors and light effects, such as the LHC (Light Harvesting Complex) or the NPQ (Non Photochemical Quenching).
  • LHC Light Harvesting Complex
  • NPQ Non Photochemical Quenching
  • the spectrum of the chlorophyll fluorescence as such can alternatively or additionally be used for the evaluation.

  • a further wavelength or a further wavelength range is selected in such a way that at this wavelength or in this wavelength range there is no or only very little absorption of light by the at least one secondary plant constituent, these measured values of the chlorophyll fluorescence can be particularly useful for a comparison with the The aim can be used to derive a statement about the content of the at least one plant ingredient.

  • the chlorophyll fluorescence depends not only on the wavelength of the excitation radiation, but also on the intensity of the excitation radiation. In principle, the greater the radiation intensity at a certain wavelength, the greater the chlorophyll fluorescence. It can therefore be useful in principle to normalize the values of the chlorophyll fluorescence, for example, to the radiation intensity of the excitation radiation and / or to set the radiation intensity for all or each of the excitation radiations.
