Determination of fulphur in plant material and soil was carried out by infrared spectrometry using the SC-132 Sulphur Determinattor apparatus of the Leco Company. Burning of samples was carried out without an accelerator and with the application of a V2O5 and COM-AID accelerator. With the application of COM-AID in the plant material samples lower results were obtained, particularly in the case of soil samples. Significant differences were not determined between the results of analyses obtained with and without the addition of V2O5. Therefore it is recommended that analyses are performed of plant material samples and soil samples without the application of the tested accelerators.
