Seasonal variation in the nutrient composition of the foliage of pecan (Carya illinoensis)

In Witchita and Western Schley, N, P and K concentrations were highest at leaf emergence and decreased with time. Ca, Mg and B concentrations were lowest early in the season and increased with time. Zn appeared to vary in response to Zn foliar sprays. Between 1 February and 21 March, when seasonal v...

Summary:In Witchita and Western Schley, N, P and K concentrations were highest at leaf emergence and decreased with time. Ca, Mg and B concentrations were lowest early in the season and increased with time. Zn appeared to vary in response to Zn foliar sprays. Between 1 February and 21 March, when seasonal variation in N, P and K was minimal, is the best period for general diagnosis.
