Abstract A modification of an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometer is described that enables the simultaneous determination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in water-soluble fertilizers. A quartz extension tube is added to the ICP torch to exclude air from the plasma, thus allowing accurate nitrogen determination without adversely affecting sensitivity for other analytes. The modification also requires an 18 mg/L argon coolant flow to protect the tube from the heat of the plasma. Detection limits are 20 mg/L for nitrogen and 50 μg/L for phosphorus and potassium. Three NBS reference salts and 2 commercially available fertilizers were analyzed by the method, and results are in excellent agreement with known values.

The field experiment was conducted to estimate the native nutrient supplying capacity of soil in western terai of Nepal during 2013/14 and 2014/15. The experimental site consisted three areas: Pakadi VDC ward no.-3, Barrohiya of Kapilvastu district; Ramgram municipality ward no.-1, Sanda of Nawalparasi district and Tukuligadh VDC ward no.-1, Rehara of Rupandehi district. The indigenous nutrients supplying capacity of the soil was determined by establishing omission plots for wheat cultivation with six treatments each of 50 m2 and 4 farmers from each site was taken assuming one farmer as one replication. Among the six treatments, -N, -P, -K, –Zn and –B were set to estimate the inherent N, P, K, Zn and B supplying capacity of soil respectively. From two years of experiment, it has been clear that inherent N and K supplying capacity of soil in selected areas is very low. The highest grain yield of 3.33 t/ha and 2.75 t/ha was measured from fully fertilized plots in 2013/14 and 2014/15 respectively and the lowest grain yield of wheat was obtained from nitrogen missing plots in both years (1.74 t/ha and 1.51 ton/ha) followed by potassium missing plots (1.74t/ha). Farmers manage their field in a different way, so large variation was seen even in small area. Nitrogen was found to be most limiting nutrient for wheat growth followed by potassium and phosphorous in all sites. Therefore, use of optimum dose of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be used for efficient nutrient uptake which ultimately increases wheat productivity.

Flame methods for the determination of magnesium in plant material were compared with EDTA titration and a thiazole yellow procedure. Mean values for quadruplicate determinations on 24 samples were 0.544, 0.543, 0.532, and 0.514% for EDTA, flame photometry with an oxyhydrogen flame, thiazole yellow, and flame photometry with an oxyacetylene flame respectively.The degree of precision, as indicated by the standard error of the mean, was highest for the oxyhydrogen flame method and lowest when the oxyacetylene flame was used.Silica repressed magnesium emission with either flame source but degree of interference was greater with the oxyhydrogen flame.

[123.17.02]The indophenol blue method for the determination of NH3 in digests of plant material is modified by the introduction of a dilution step, which is necessary because of the sensitivity of the method, and the use of a phosphate buffer to suppress pH influence caused by slight variations in the acid content of the digests. EDTA is used to prevent the precipitation of hydroxides and phosphates in the alkaline region. The method is quick and simple since no heating is required for colour development. The straight calibration curve obtained permits direct automatic registration of the results. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

A sand-culture experiment with lettuces is described, having as its principal purpose the study of the relationship between the potential responses of plants to applications of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and the composition of. their foliage. Plants were supplied initially with five levels of these nutrients in all combinations, samples of plant material were taken fot analysis at various stages of development, and at 44 days from sowing additional quantities of nutrients were supplied to some of the cultures in order that their response potentialities might be determined. The present paper analyses the effects of the nutrient interactions on plant dry weight, further results being left to subsequent papers.
