Dumas.



5. determination of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other elements in

soil extract by Agua Royal



Modified a soil sample is extracted with a mixture of hydrochloric acid and

nitric acid (3 + v + v) frenzy. The contents of each element is

by optical emission spectrometry inductively coupled in

plasma, by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry or in

the case of phosphorus by spectrophotometry.



6. determination of acceptable nutrient by Mehlicha III



The soil is extracted with acid solution, which contains ammonium fluoride for

increasing the solubility of different forms of phosphorus bound in iron and aluminum.

In the solution is present as well as ammonium nitrate, which positively affects the

desorption of potassium, magnesium and calcium. The acid reaction vyluhovacího

the solution is to set the acetic acid and nitric acid. A digestion

well the solution models the accessibility of nutrients in the soil for plants.

Concentration of magnesium and calcium in the extractant determined by Atomic method

and the concentration of phosphorus is determined spectrophotometrically by reaction with

molybdenanem in an acidic environment, such as molybdenum blue. The determination of the

potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium is also possible using the method of optical emission

Inductively coupled plasma spectrometry. In all cases the

uses the method of the calibration curve. In the extract, it is possible to establish some

other elements.



7. Determination of copper, zinc, manganese and iron in the extract under Lindsay, and

Norvella



The soil is extracted solution: 0.1 mol/l 0.01 m triethanolamine, l-1

calcium chloride and 0.005 mol l-1 DTPA (acid

Microbiological analyses of agricultural land



1. principles of microbial analyses of agricultural land



Determining the abundance and soil microflora activity measurement of respiratory

curves (ISO DIS 17155)



Fresh soil samples with a water content of 40-60% of the maximum matching

water holding capacity are before you start measuring 3-4 days at preinkubovány

constant temperature. The recommended temperature is in the range 20-25

degrees C During measurements at regular intervals (recommended every

an hour) was established as the carbon dioxide released or oxygen consumed.

The speed of the basal respiration is defined as the amount of CO2 released by the

or the O2 consumed per unit of time without the addition of substrate.

Respiratory curves are measured after addition of easily biodegradable

substrate (e.g., glucose). The measurement takes place, until there is a decrease in the

the speed of respiration. For the measurement of respiration can be applied to any device

to enable continuous measurement of evolved carbon dioxide or

consumed by oxygen.



From respiratory curves are subtracted the values of parameters characterizing the

biomass and activity of microbial communities: substrate induced

respiration, lag phase, growth speed and time tpeakmax. Substrate

We understand the constant losses by respiration induced increased respiration rate

immediately after addition of the substrate, the lag phase time to begin

the exponential growth the speed of respiration and the growth speed

speed constant measured during exponential growth rate

respiration. Tpeakmax time is the time from the addition of the substrate to a maximum

respiratory rate. Of the proportion of the basal and the substrate-induced

respiration is the calculated value of the activation of the respiratory quotient QR.



Nitrifying potential-a quick test by measuring the rate of oxidation of ammonium

ions (ISO DIS 15685)



The rate of oxidation of ammonium ions to destroy is measured within 6 hours

incubation in soil suspension buffered to pH 7.2. Substrate is a suspension

added in the form of ammonium sulphate. The oxidation of nitrite to nitrate is

inhibited by the addition of sodium chlorate. Destroy the ions are

set a suitable analytical method.



To determine whether the soil contains a contaminant that affects

nitrification, the control soil sample with a known value

nitrifikačního potential in the range of 500-800 ng N g-1 h-1. Samples

the test and control soils are preinkubovány two days when humidity

the corresponding water content at 60% of the maximum water capacity. It is then

ready to sample in the ratio of 1:1 (calculated on dry soil).

Pooled sample and samples of soil test and inspection are incubated for 1 day

at a temperature of 20 ° C, and then specified in them nitrification potential.



2. Evaluation criteria



Determining the abundance and soil microflora activity measurement of respiratory

curves



Contaminated soil show higher values of QR and longer lag phase and the

tpeakmax. QR values > 0.3 or lag phase > 20 h and 50 h at tpeakmax > R

0.2-0.3 indicate contaminated soil.



Nitrifying potential-a quick test by measuring the rate of oxidation of ammonium

ions



Test the soil is considered contaminated when nitrifying

the potential of a collective specimen is less than 90% of the average value

nitrifying potential samples of the test and control of land laid down

separately.

Determination of the content of the skeleton

Assay procedure: Water in the measuring cylinder down the volume of the sample, the

shall be distributed to the screens of the factions, the volume gradually lays down

again in the measuring cylinder. The result-the volume of individual fractions are expressed

in% of the total volume of the sample. Evaluation criteria: classification scale,

created for a comprehensive survey of soil, divides the land of the jemnozem (under 2 mm) and

skeleton. It is made up of the three factions (2-4 mm coarse sand, gravel, 4-

30 mm, stones over 30 mm). Application range is suitable for larger samples

(the order of kg), taken exclusively for this determination. The contents of the skeleton in the

ornici to 20% usually will not adversely affect the growth of plants, or even

When you cultivate. The higher the volume goes to the detriment of jemnozemě and particularly adversely

It exhibits the skeleton with a heavy clay layers of sealer.



Determination of the physical properties.

Assay procedure: physical properties means indicators,

discovered on the intact soil sample, taken to a metal ring.

The procedure is suitable for fine grained cohesive soil without crude skeleton

or large organic debris. In the sample, taken from the best of the probe,

identifies the weight of the fresh water saturated, expressed and dried

sample and determination of its apparent density will provide the basic data for

the calculation of the volumetric moisture content searching parameters: momentní (instant,

the original), maximum capillary water capacity, momentní (original)

airiness, the minimum air capacity, absorption power, density

reduced (dry land), porosity. The evaluation criteria are expressed

the properties of the soil. Momentní humidity (%), and the airiness of momentní

(vol.%) depends on the particular situation and the climate. Maximum capillary

water capacity (%)-the coarser soil, the less. U

fine-grained, dense soils and vazkých is larger (usually 20-40%).

The minimum volumetric air capacity (%)-below 10% in field soils and under

5% of meadow soils-prone to waterlogging, if this is a permanent state-land

waterlogged, above 20% for the fields-soil vysychavé, if this is a permanent condition-

soil wizened. Absorption power density (%)-indicates the saturation of the entire column

soil. capillary pores. The clay soil is higher than in

Sandy. According to the density of dry soil and according to the porosity
