Abstract : Leaf and soil samples were collected from 24 bearing orchards and assessed for nutrient contents. The data are tabulated. The mean leaf N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents in fruiting trees were 1.39, 0.131, 0.544, 2.59 and 0.32%, respectively, and in non-fruiting trees 1.39. 0.142, 0.609, 2.58 and 0.36%. No significant correlation between soil and leaf N and K was observed; however, a significant correlation was noted between available P in the deeper soil levels (60-90 cm) and leaf P. No significant relationship between leaf nutrient contents and fruit yield was noted, except for a negative relationship with leaf N.
