Abstract
The need for analytical support in agricultural research and development
has long been recognized, especially for soil fertility evaluation and management,
assessment of crop and food quality, and selection and breeding
of nutritious food staples. In addition, the demand for analytical research
support in the general areas of agriculture interfacing with human health
and environmental quality has greatly increased in recent years. The trend
for increased demand for analytical support will most likely continue in the
future. To meet such diverse, increasing demands for analytical support, we
need to upgrade infrastructure facilities and simultaneously teach and train
students and young researchers in the use of modern analytical tools. This
is prerequisite to providing timely, efficient, and effective analytical support,
as such support is the key to monitoring, assessing, and maintaining soil,
food, and environmental quality and to breeding nutritious food staples
