Abstract : The effects of leaf age, sampling direction, position of the leaf on the shoot and sampling height on the N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe contents of mango leaves were studied. Six- to seven-month-old leaves from the middle of nonfruiting shoots sampled from any side of the plant and any height were suitable for analysis.
