Abstract
The analysis of plant tissue, generally leaves, is considered to be an important step in diagnosing and confirming a mineral element deficiency. The mineral element status of the plant can be accurately measured by the analysis of plant tissue if the tissue is properly sampled. Tissue analysis is often the best indication for recommending fertilizer or supporting nutrient spray treatments. The development of a relatively fast and accurate method of analyzing plant tissue has been made possible with the advent of atomic absorption spectroscopic techniques.Keywords
