Description
Summary:Estimation of nitrate accumulation in grapevine plant tissue has a great significance in grape production. In this method, nitrate was extracted in water by using magnesium carbonate and calcium hydroxide in the ratio of 10 : 1 and charcoal by agitating for 15 min, which gives clear, transparent, and rapid extraction by removing pigments, color, and turbidity after filtration. Nitrate content in petiole sample extract was determined by a simple UV-spectrometric screening method at 220 nm wavelength which obeyed Beer’s law with linear behavior up to nitrate concentration of 11 ppm. The other species such as nitrite, carbonate, and dissolved organic carbon do not interfere. Spectrophotometric data on nitrate determination by other two methods, i.e., phenoldisulphonic acid and salicylic acid method, are included for comparison. The extraction and nitrate determination methods are innovative, reliable, easy to adapt, reduce time consumption and hazardous waste, moreover, they are suitable for routine laboratories where the sample load is very high.
