Análisis de nitrógeno total en suelos tropicales por espectroscopía de infrarojo cercano (NIRS) y...

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important elements for plant nutrition; therefore, it is necessary to obtain quick and reliable methods for determining N in soil. The objective of the present study was predicting total nitrogen (Nt) concentration in soils of a Mexican tropical region by means of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in samples within a plastic bag or without one. The advantage of using NIRS lies in the great selectivity of the technique, which makes it possible to quantify a chem...
