Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been applied to measure spectral characteristics and to perform quantitative analysis of the concentration of manganese in soil, an issue of great concern for precision agriculture. For the analysis, soil samples were compressed into pellets and a pulsed Nd:YAG laser was employed to produce the plasma in air at atmospheric pressure. Using this approach, we analyzed the time evolution of spectral characteristics and their dependence on the laser pulse energy. A calibration curve was constructed using reference sandy soil samples collected from a farm. An internal standard curve was used to improve the accuracy of the LIBS metrology for soil analyses. The results of this analysis demonstrated the usefulness of this method for analyzing the concentration of manganese in soil.
