Abstract

Seventy-two leaf samples belonging to two cultivars of Cajanus cajanMillsp were analysed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). Thesamples came from plants treated with two doses of fertilizer containing eachof the following elements: B, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, V and Zn, which were applied,individually, to the soil. The leaf samples were yielded at two differenttimes. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the influence of each fertilizer,the dose and leaf harvest time, on the concentrations of Ca, Cu, K, Mg, Mn,Na and V, and the behavior of both cultivars in relation to the concentrationsof these elements.
