Good soil management requires large amounts of soil data which are expensive to provide using traditional laboratory methods. Soil infrared spectroscopy including portable/miniaturized visible-infrared spectrometers offers a cost-effective solution. There is a need to test and compare the performance of portable/miniaturized mid-infrared (MIR) and visible-near-infrared (vis-NIR) spectrometers for the prediction of soil properties across a range of soils. For this assessment, 458 soil samples from Australia were scanned by four vis-NIR and MIR portable/miniature spectrometers and partial least squares regressions (PLSR) applied for the prediction of 17 properties in soils dried at 40 °C and sieved to
