Abstract : Three-year trials were carried out with 8-year-old trees of the mango cv. Dashehari receiving N, P2O5 and/or K2O at 40, 80 or 120 g/tree in various combinations. The fertilizers were applied in 3 split doses. Data are tabulated on the removal of N, P, K, Ca and Mg by the leaves. The highest leaf absorption of NPK was noted with the highest NPK rates. The highest leaf Ca and Mg levels were in trees receiving NPK at 40:120:80 and 80:80:120 g/tree, respectively. Data are also tabulated on the removal of N, P, K, Ca and Mg by the fruits.
