Abstract

A material evaluating device for an agricultural work machine comprising: a light source for illuminating one or more constituent materials to be examined; a spectrometer for providing a spectral signal related to the wavelength-specific intensity of light reflected by the constituent materials; and an evaluation device configured to determine the content of one or more constituent materials using the spectral signal of the spectrometer and a calibration data, wherein a property signal relating to a property of the one or more constituent materials is supplied to the evaluation device and the evaluation device is configured, using the property signal, to determine the content of the one or more constituent materials.
