Abstract: In this study, a multivariate analysis combined with near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was employed to classify intact grape berries based on the rootstock x cover crops combination. NIR spectra were collected in diffuse reflection mode using a TANGO FT-NIR spectrometer (Bruker, Germany) with 8 cm −1 resolution and 64 scans in the wave number range of 4000–10,000 cm −1 . The chemometric analyses were performed with the statistical software R version 4.2.0 (2022-04-22). Elimination of uninformative variables was accomplished with a PCA and a genetic algorithm (GA). The discrimination performance of a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model was not enhanced with either a PCA- or a GA-based selection. A multiclass classification model was built with an artificial neural network (ANN). The best fit multiclass classification model on test data was obtained with the GA-ANN model that gave a classification accuracy of close to 80% for samples belonging to the four classes. These results demonstrate that NIR spectroscopy could be used as a rapid method for the classification of berries based on their rootstock x cover-crops combination.
