Abstract:
Scandium and ash methods' performances were compared in terms of soil content assessment in sugar cane loads, emphasizing
the common sampling drawbacks. Both methods are adequate for such determination in controlled conditions. The scandium has
demonstrated better analytical characteristics, since it is free from interferences of cane matrix, which decreases the accuracy
of the ash method in normal mill conditions.
