Inexpensive alternatives for the determination of total N in plant and soil samples were investigated. Plant and soil samples which varied widely in N concentration were digested in a 126-sample-capacity Al block digester followed by determination of total N with the ammonium electrode in a semiautomated reaction vessel assembly. The proposed ammonium electrode semiautomated (AES) procedure was compared to standard micro-Kjeldahl and Al block digested-steam distilled-titrated (ABDDT) procedures. More samples (30-50) per 8 h day could be analyzed with the proposed semiautomated procedure as compared to standard micro-Kjeldahl methods. The precision of the methods were comparable but significantly more N was found by using the ABDDT procedure.
