Hi Guys,
Sorry for dumping this thread in here, I really wouldn't know where this would fit...
I'm a farmer in Australia and I'm trying out these really simple devices to measure nutrient levels in my soil, they're basically a ceramic container with a small hose that gets buried into the root zone of my crop, I use a syringe to create a vacuum in the container which slowly draws soil moisture over night for extraction the following day.
My question is: Can the N,P,K,Ca,Mg levels be measured in a Spectrometer? Is it complicated if it can be done? Do you need a certain type of spectrometer?
Thanks,
Vito Mancini
