Abstract
Scandium and ash methods' performances were compared in terms of soil content assessment in sugar cane loads, emphasizing the common samplin g drawbacks. Both methods are adequate for such determination in contr olled conditions. The scandium has demonstrated better analytical char acteristics, since it is free from interferences of cane matrix, which decreases the accuracy of the ash method in normal mill conditions.
