MACRO AND MICROELEMENT CONTENT OF LEAVES OF THE APRICOT CV ROXANA GRAFTED ON TWO ROOTSTOCKS

This paper presents the dynamics and average content of the most significant macro and microelements in apricot cv. Roxana during vegetation.
Two important rootstocks for apricot in Yugoslavia, i.e. Belosljiva and Pozegaca, were used.

Comparing nutrient contents by rootstocks, nitrogen, potassium, iron, copper and zinc contents were reported to be higher in the leaf of the cv. Roxana on the rootstock Belosljiva, while phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and boron were higher on Pozegaca.

However, only the differences in manganese content by rootstock were highly significant, while those in potassium content by years of studies were significant.
