Considerations Needed for Sensing Mineral Nutrient Levels in Pasture Using a Benchtop Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy System

A novel LIBS method for quantitative and high-throughput analysis of macro- and micronutrients in plants

“…Although ICP-OES also suffers from the inability to measure N, it would be of great interest to work further on quantifying N with LIBS. Jull, Künnemeyer 52 used argon for atmospheric purging and achieved a reasonably good correlation between N estimated with NIR and N measured with LIBS. This warrants further research into the quantification of N with LIBS.…”
