Determination of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Sulfur in Plant Tissue

Accurate determination of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur (CNS) in crop tissue is a vital diagnostic tool for evaluating plant health, nutrient uptake, and fertilizer effectiveness in high-value agricultural crops. This application note highlights how the LECO CNS928 utilizes high-temperature macro horizontal combustion paired with NDIR and thermal conductivity detection to handle large sample masses with high precision. By streamlining tissue and soil testing, agronomy labs can provide actionable insights to growers to correct nutrient deficiencies and optimize soil management.
