Reviews of the First Edition:

"Highly commended for a volume that can be unreservedly recommended for all laboratories and workers concerned with the interpretation of plant analysis."
VM Shorrocks, Micronutrient News

". . . a valuable resource for those using plant analysis to diagnose the nutrient element status of plants"
J Benton Jones, Communication in soil Science & Plant Analysis

". . . one of the most comprehensive and complete books available on plant analysis at the present time. This book should be on the shelf of not only every plant nutritionist but also of the agronomists / horticulturalists working with governments, universities or private industry throughout the world."
M Prasad, New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research
