Nutrient Determination Methods in the Laboratory

In the present scenario, the soil is sick and deficient to many more nutrients. So, soil testing is very must. For determining of the availability of different nutrients particular method is useful.In the soil testing, different methods are used to determine the total and available nutrients in the laboratory. They are as under-

S.No.	Nutrient Determination	Analysing Process
1.	Available Nitrogen	Alkaline Permagnet Method
2.	Total Nitrogen in Soil	Kzeldahl Method
3.	Phosphorus in Neutral and Alkaline Soil	Olsen's Method
4.	Phosphorus in Acid Condition	Bray No. 1
5.	K+ and Na+	Flame Photometer
6.	Sulphate Sulphur	Terbimatric Method
7.	Available Potash	Chromic Acid Digestion Method
8.	Organic Carbon	Walkle and Black Method Rapid Oxidation Process (KMnO4) Morgan's Method
