DTPA extraction from micronutrients.docVIP

DTPA Extraction for Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn and DTPA-Sorbital Extraction for Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn and B Tony Provin and Hailin Zhang Application and Principle First developed and published by Lindsay and Norvell (1978) for extracting micronutrients in neutral and calcareous soils, the DTPA extraction method has gained significant adoption by agricultural laboratories. While originally conceived to address the over-estimation of micronutrients by acid extracts in calcareous soils, the equilibrium/chelation mechanism coupled by the use ICP analysis has proven useful in nearly all pH ranges.
