In an attempt to enhance the precision of chemical analyses of soil fertility and quantify different elements simultaneously, some laboratories have opted to use the technique of inductively coupled plasma for optical emission spectrometry (ICP) instead of the technique of Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), which currently is the most commonly used in soil analysis laboratories. In this study we compared the precision of the two dosage techniques, their repeatability and the magnitude of the concentrations of the micronutrients Fe, Zn, […]
