X-ray emission spectrography in comparison with many analytical tools provides a
nondestructive means of determining elemental concentrations in plant materials with …

X‐ray spectrometry can be used to analyse plants for elements of atomic number greater
than 20 at concentrations as low as 1 ppm. The most accurate results are obtained by …

X-ray emission spectroscopy has been applied to determination of zinc in a variety of plant
species. Data are presented to show the lack of consistency in the intensity of the zinc …

Actually, by using modern equipment and following a few practical rules, radiography is as
easy as photography. Making an X-ray negative or radiograph is analogous to making a …

Plant tissue analysis for non‐mobile nutrients can supplement soil test values or may
replace soil analyses in the determination of the soil's ability to supply these nutrients to next …
