Both visible near-infrared (VNIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy have been claimed to better predict pesticide sorption in soils than other methods. We compared the performances of VNIR and MIR spectroscopy for predicting both organic carbon content (f<sub>OCsub>) and the sorption affinity (K<sub>dsub>) of diuron in 112 surface soils from South Australia. Separate calibration models were developed between VNIR and MIR spectra, and f<sub>OCsub> and K<sub>dsub> using partial least-squares (PLS) regression. MIR clearly outperformed VNIR for predictions of both f<sub>OCsub> and K<sub>dsub> in soils. Correlation (R<sup>2sup>) and accuracy (RPD) indices were 0.4 and 1.3 for the VNIR-PLS model versus 0.8 and 2.3 for the MIR-PLS model, respectively, for K<sub>dsub> prediction. PLS loadings for sorption prediction were compared in terms of the soil information they contained. While VNIR loading did not include any direct spectral information regarding soil minerals, MIR loading included peaks associated with sand, clays, and carbonates. Perhaps by better predicting f<sub>OCsub> and integrating the effects of OC as well as minerals, the MIR-PLS model provided a better prediction for diuron K<sub>dsub> values in our calibration set.
