Abstract

Over the past two decades an intense activity has been conducted in the study anddevelopment of the analytical technique of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in severalfields of academic and applicative research, including agriculture. LIBS is a fast and reliabletechnique suitable for the simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of major and traceelements in samples of various nature and origin. This review reports and discusses some works onLIBS applications and his feasibility to the study of agriculture with focus on soils, plants andcomposts. Results obtained on element detection and quantification, identification anddiscrimination are reviewed and briefly discussed. In particular, we would focus the attention onhow LIBS could be adopted on the Brazilian environment with promising results. For example, newmethods that allow soil C measurements in-situ are crucial for Amazonian soils and an encouragingresolution method to quantify C in Brazilian soils would be given by means of atomic emissionlines obtained by a portable LIBS system. Furthermore, field measurements are also possible byusing compact portable LIBS apparatus really helpful in hostile environment, e.g., Amazoniaregion.
