Abstract:

The rapid detection of cadmium is of great significance for the high-quality and safe production of sweet potatoes. This experiment used five sweet potato varieties, Xinxiang, Shulv 1, Guangshu 87, Zheshu 13, and Shangshu 19, for pot cultivation. By setting five different contents of cadmium treatment gradients, the characteristics of cadmium absorption and accumulation in sweet potatoes were explored. The results showed that the heavy metal cadmium content in sweet potato leaves and root tubers showed an upward trend with the increase of soil cadmium content. By analyzing the spectral reflectance characteristics of sweet potato leaves, key spectral bands closely related to cadmium content were identified, and two sensitive bands (830 and 910 nm) with the strongest correlation with leaf cadmium content and normalized vegetation index (NDVI) were determined within these bands. A quantitative estimation model for heavy metal content in sweet potato leaves was constructed based on the NDVI index,achieving real-time monitoring and accurate diagnosis of cadmium content in sweet potato plants.
