abstract = {Ornamental heather (Calluna vulgaris) production is
characterized by high risks such as occurrence of fungal
diseases and plant losses. Given the general absence of
formal research on this economically important production
system, farmers depend on their own approaches to assess
plant vitality. We provide a reproducible, affordable and
transparent workflow for assessing ornamental plant vitality
with spectroscopy data. We use hyperspectral imaging as a
non-invasive alternative for monitoring plant performance by
combining the long-term experience of experts with
hyperspectral images taken with a portable hyperspectral
camera. We tested a custom-made setup deployed in a
horticultural production facility and screened thousands of
heather plants over a period of 14 weeks during their
development from cuttings to young plants under production
conditions. The vitality of shoots and roots was classified
by experts for comparison with spectral signatures of shoot
tips of healthy and stressed plants. To identify wavelengths
that allow distinguishing between healthy and stressed
heather plants, we evaluated the datasets using Partial
Least Squares regression. Reflectance in the green
(519–575 nm) and red-edge (712–718 nm) region of the
spectrum was identified as most important for classifying
plants as healthy or stressed. We transferred the trained
Partial Least Squares regression model to independent test
data obtained on a different date, correctly classifying
$98.1\%$ of the heather plants. The setup we describe here
is adjustable and can be used to measure different plant
species. We identify challenges in data evaluation, point
out promising evaluation approaches, and make our dataset
available to facilitate further studies on plant vitality in
horticultural production systems.},
