The cane plant can be regarded as a mixture of chemical compounds. This mixture could be defined as the chemical composition of the plant. If the chemical composition of certain growth tissues of the plant is indicative of its nutritional status, whilst the concentration of nutritional elements in the soil is reflected by the nutritional status of the plant, the results of qualitative and quantitative tissue analyses can contribute much to the formulation of an effective nutritional, or fertilizer, policy
