A device for analyzing plants, by luminous excitation and fluorescence measurement, can be used on site without preparation of the plants. The device evaluates the content of a compound in the skin or epidermis of a plant. The geometry of the device is characterized by a direction of the excitation light rays and a direction of the fluorescence light rays which are non-collinear with each other. The device includes several sets of emitters of different wavelengths, each including several emitters, and makes it possible to measure a plurality of excitation-fluorescence combinations. A method for evaluating and monitoring the development and maturity of a crop, as well as a method for monitoring and controlling plant treatment are also described.

In-situ plant analysis apparatus, method for tracking the state or evolution of a culture and method for managing vegetable processing

A method and a system for jointly determining the content of a first chromophorous and fluorescent compound and a second chromophorous compound in a biological tissue (). The determination of the content of the chromophorous and fluorescent compound () is carried out by optical measurement of the differential absorption of this chromophorous and fluorescent compound () and the determination of the content of the second chromophorous compound () is carried out by optical measurement of the fluorescence of the chromophorous and fluorescent compound (). Optical radiations (-) are utilized which are suitably chosen in combination with at least one operation of filtering these radiations suited to using single detection () and measurement element for the two determinations.
