Soil and Plant Analysis Council: A Model for Scientific Innovation, Education, and Development

Abstract: Soil and plant analysis has been a major contribution to the development of the agricultural sciences and indirectly to sustaining mankind. The advances that have occurred in the various disciplines in soil science, agronomy, and crop science would have been impossible without parallel advances in analytical technology. Despite the many divisions in the journals of the

“…Harvested samples were analyzed to micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and B). Leaf samples were acid-digested in concentrated nitric-perchloric acid mixture and Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn contrations were determined by AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, SensAA, Dual GBC) and B concentration was determined spectrophotometrically (Kalra 1998).…”

“…The resulting ash was dissolved in 10 N nitric acid (HNO 3 ), and the boron concentration was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with a Perkin Elmer 1200V instrument. The methods employed for B analysis were based on the works of Horwitz (1980) and Kalra (1998).…”

“…The soil testing program embraced other aspects of fertility and fertilizer use (Ryan, 1997). Work on soil testing, plant analysis, and laboratory management extended to the laboratories in other CGIAR centers (Ryan, Smithson, Mandac, & Uponi, 2002) and the global soil and plant analysis community (Kalra & Ryan, 2009). The most significant publication in terms of impact was the laboratory manual designed for technicians that was published in English (Ryan, Estephan, & Rashid, 2002), and was widely used in the WANA region.…”
