Thakur, R.S. | Srivastava, R.P. | Chadha, K.L. | Singh, N.P.
Mineral composition of mango leaves of cv. Dashehari as affected by twenty-four rootstocks (10 polyembryonic + 14 monoembryonic) was studied. The contents of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe in the scion leaves were significantly influenced by the type of rootstock. Rumani rootstock resulted in higher leaf N content and ST-9 showed a tendency to absorb more P and K. While Ca, Mg and Mn contents were more in Nekkare rootstock, Dashehari rootstock resulted in higher Zn and Cu content. S and Fe were higher in Bappakai and Ambalavi rootstocks respectively.
