Detection and differentiation of herbicide stresses in roses by Raman spectroscopy

Herbicide application is a critical component of modern horticulture. Misuse of herbicides can result in damage to economically important plants. Currently, such damage can be detected only at symptomatic stages by subjective visual inspection of plants, which requires substantial biological expertise. In this study, we investigated the potential of Raman spectroscopy (RS), a modern analytical technique that allows sensing of plant health, for pre-symptomatic diagnostics of herbicide stresses. Using roses as a model plant system, we investigated the extent to which stresses caused by Roundup (Glyphosate) and Weed-B-Gon (2, 4-D, Dicamba and Mecoprop-p (WBG), two of the most commonly used herbicides world-wide, can be diagnosed at pre- and symptomatic stages. We found that spectroscopic analysis of rose leaves enables ~90% accurate detection of Roundup- and WBG-induced stresses one day after application of these herbicides on plants. Our results also show that the accuracy of diagnostics of both herbicides at seven days reaches 100%. Furthermore, we show that RS enables highly accurate differentiation between the stresses induced by Roundup- and WBG. We infer that this sensitivity and specificity arises from the differences in biochemical changes in plants that are induced by both herbicides. These findings suggest that RS can be used for a non-destructive surveillance of plant health to detect and identify herbicide-induced stresses in plants.
