GAS-L: Plant tissue analysis

[Carefreeland@aol.com]

     Biomass users, I have seen quite a few questions on the occurrence of 
various minerals in plants.  I will refer you to:  Dr. J. Benton Jones Jr., 
certainly an expert in this subject.  I have met him in the early 90's at 
several Hydroponic confrences and he is a most friendly, helpful kind of guy. 
 He also knows a lot about irrigation water quality and fertilizer balance.  
    I recommend his book PLANT ANALYSIS HANDBOOK Copyright 1991 Publisher is 
Micro-Macro Publishing, Inc., 183 paradise Blvd., Suit 108, Athens, Georgia 
30607 USA.  There may be an updated version.  The publisher may help you 
locate his E- mail address or website.  Possibly from a newer book?  
    This book lists the range of nutrients in healthy plant tissue leaves on 
a wide variety of crops and trees.  Other data and many testing methods can 
be learned from this book.  Maybe this will help.   Good luck,
                                                 Dan Dimiduk
