We measured cobalt content in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry: their absorbance and back ground values. These analyses were with AA-680 of Shimadzu. The mode was BGC; wave length, 240.8 ㎚, 240.7 ㎚, 240.6 ㎚, respectively. The recommended wave length is 240.7 ㎚ for Co analysis. It was done through several ratios among 4 factors; mean of absorbance(AM), standard deviation of absorbance (AS), mean of background(BM), standard deviation of background.(BS). The result was t㏊t 240.6 ㎚ was the favourable. And t㏊t of 240.8 ㎚ was better t㏊n t㏊t of 240.7 ㎚ for the Co analysis.
