Abstract : The effects of earthworms and cattle manure on leaf nutrient concentration and yield of mangoes were evaluated in Bahia, Brazil, during 1996-99. Five levels of organic matter (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 dm3/plant) were applied. The treatments had no effect on leaf nutrient concentration and there was no significant difference between sources.
