Abstract
The usefulness of INAA, radionuclide ED-XRF, ICP-AES and AAS are comparativ ely evaluated for the determination of nutrients, essential and trace eleme nts in various plant matrices. The comparison is performed by analysis of t he following reference materials: NIST-SRM-1573, NIST-SRM-1575, NIES-1, NIE S-3, NIES-6 IAEA-V-10 and Bowen's kale. The detection limits, accuracy and precision of the methods are discussed and a combination of INAA and GFAAS is recommended for analysis of plants for monitoring purposes.
