This chapter reviews a basic inductively coupled plasma (ICP) principles; and highlights
some of the applications of ICP‐atomic emission spectroscopy in the study of soils. It …

This chapter reviews the current status of soil testing for copper, iron, manganese, and zinc.
The three sequential steps generally followed to develop micronutrient cation soil tests are …

The literature published on the use of the Soltanpour and Schwab Ammonium Bicarbonate‐
DTPA (AB‐DTPA) soil test shows that it can be used to determine availability and toxicity …

The chemical characterizations or soil tests are most apt to differentiate micronutrient
availability when nutrient element chemistry is carefully considered as part of the soil test …

A wet digestion method for plant tissue analysis for use with Inductively Coupled Plasma‐
Atomic Emission Spectrometry has been developed. This procedure uses only nitric acid …

Abstract Recently Soltanpour and Schwab3developed an NH4HCO3‐DTPA (AB‐DTPA) soil
test to simultaneously extract NO3, P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu. In this test carbon black was …

This chapter discusses the pertinent aspects of the various methods which are commonly
used to exchange, extract, or solubilize a given fraction of solid phase aluminum (Al) and of …

Aluminum (Al) is one of the elements that are frequently analyzed in the study of soils,
sludges, sediments, geological materials, and plant or animal tissues. This element is an …

The ammonium bicarbonate-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)(AB-DTPA) soil test
was developed by Soltanpour and Schwab (1977) to extract simultaneously labile N0 3-N …

Abstract The Mehlich 3 (M3) extractant was introduced in 1981 to improve the efficiency of
soil testing laboratories by eliminating the need for multiple extractants for P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn …
