| Abstract | The analytical performances of benchtop and handheld energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) systems were evaluated aiming at the direct and simultaneous determination of P, K, Ca, S, Fe, Mn, and Si in plant materials. Pressed pellets of comminuted leaves from 23 varieties of sugar cane were used as laboratory samples. Both systems presented similar figures of merit, and were able to provide useful data for plant nutrition diagnosis. Linear correlation between the elemental mass fractions in the test samples and characteristic X-ray intensities was obtained for all analytes with both types of equipment. Correlation coefficients from 0.9601 to 0.9918 and from 0.9094 to 0.9948 were attained for benchtop and handheld EDXRF, respectively. The coefficient of variation of measurements carried out in 3 different test samples was also appropriate, being lower than 13% for all analytes. Limits of detection were comparable for both systems (20 mg kg−1 for Fe and Mn, and approximately 0.1 g kg−1 for P, K, Ca, S and Si) and permit the evaluation of the mineral nutrition status of sugar cane crop taking into account the critical levels of these elements. The handheld system is a cost-effective and appealing option for those who intend to carry out faster in situ and laboratory analysis with equivalent performance of the benchtop equipment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
