Determination of exchangeable cations in soil extracts using the Agilent 4100 Microwave Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectrometer Application note
نویسنده
چکیده
Accurate, routine testing of nutrients in soil samples is critical to understanding its potential fertility. Many of the nutrients that are vital to plants are exchangeable cations. These are ions loosely attached to and/or adsorbed onto clay particles and organic matter in soil that may become available to plants. Determination of these cations is of great interest for agronomic diagnostic and soil sustainability, enabling more accurate assessment and management of nutrient requirements [1, 2]. If the results indicate there is a nutrient imbalance, then this can be corrected for by the application of a suitably formulated fertilizer.
