| The determination of total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in plant material can be carried out in a common extract prepared with sulphuric acid and 30 per cent hydrogen peroxide. Nitrogen is estimated by direct nesslerization of a suitable aliquot (1-5 ml of the 50 ml extract made out of 250 mg of dried material); in order to avoid excessive acidity, 10 ml of Nessler's reagent should be employed. An aliquot of 1-5 ml suffices for the colorimetric determination of phosphorus by the molybdenum method; to reduce the phosphomolybdate complex 2 ml of a 2% SnC12 soln are necessary. Potassium is determined by the cobaltinitrite method after elimination of ammonium salts with the aid of aqua-regia. |
