Abstract
The major nutrients are found to deplete in older leaves and accumulate in the fully matured leaves of the current season’s growth.
The magnitude of variance in the nutrient contents of the bottom and top fully matured leaves is found marginal.
The magnitude of variance in the nutrient contents of the bottom and top fully matured leaves is found marginal.
The nutrient variability as influenced by the season, position of the leaf and age of the leaf was studied in eight year old cashew trees.
Twenty trees were selected for sampling purpose.
Fresh and fully matured leaves were collected all around the tree at two positions i.e., bottom and top, before and after flowering i.e., January and May and analysed for major nutrients.
