Extract

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is the usual method for the direct determination of small amounts of manganese in plant materials (Christian & Feldman 1970; Heanes, 1981) and other substances (Carnrick, Slavin & Manning, 1981). However, it uses the highly sophisticated and expensive Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, which requires a reasonable degree of technician expertise, and is therefore not suitable for routine chemical analyses in Third World countries.
