Abstract

The soil was deficient in Zn content, while the contents of Fe, Cu and Mn were low and had negative significant correlation with CaCO3, carbonate clay and pH. This indicated that CaCO3 severely affected availability of micronutrients in soil. Leaf micronutrient status also showed similar trend. The yield of Nagpur mandarin was positively correlated with leaf micronutrient concentration.
