Abstract
In this work, we have demonstrated for the first time the sensing of soil macronutrients nitrate and potassium with the use of MTDAN ionophore, nitrate ionophore VI and 18crown6 ether in a PVC/DOS matrix using a highly sensitive piezoresitive silicon oxide cantilevers. The complete portable electronics system along with a liquid cell for on the field experimentation has been demonstrated.
