Abstract

The Kjeldahl's method of total N determination was compared with chromic acid method by analysing variable 30 soil and 29 plant samples. The chromic acid N agreed quite well with Kjeldahl's N in both the cases due to meagre variation in sample estimates and a non-significant 't' test. The Kjeldahl's and chromic acid N were significantly positively related with organic carbon of soils...
