A system for evaluating the susceptibility of a soybean plant to iron deficiency chlorosis is described. Soybean plants are planted in range and rows multiple micro-plots and a cart is used to pass a radiometric sensor over the micro-plots. The cart may have a sensor housing that is divided into multiple partitions with a radiometric sensor assembly positioned within each partition. Each sensor assembly generates a data signal and a computer receives and stores the data signals. The field cart is positioned above the range. The number of partitions corresponds to the number of rows in the range and each sensor assembly is positioned above a single row.
