Abstract : In a field experiment in West Bengal, the application of different levels of potassium (125-1500 g/tree) significantly increased the N, P, K, Zn and Mn contents of mango leaf, but decreased level of Fe. The application of 1500 g K produced the highest leaf N, P, K, Zn and Mn content. The content of N, P, K, Zn and Mn of mango fruit were also increased with the application of K whereas Ca and Fe contents significantly decreased.
