Abstract: Field experiment was conducted during the year 2016-17 at Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. Assessing the annual concentration of nutrient that tree needs to absorb in order to successfully complete a vegetative and reproductive growth is a fundamental step for developing rational fertilization in orchards. For conducting this experiment leaves of variety Kesar, Alphonso, Sonpari and Totapuri were collected at different stages like Marble, Egg and Harvest for estimation of macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) and micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu). The result of leaf nutrients analysis displayed maximum K (1.62%), Ca (1.69%), Mg (0.70%), S (0.50%), Zn (36.39 ppm), Fe (184.00 ppm), Mn (69.18 ppm) and Cu (20.14 ppm) contents in Totapuri at harvest stage, whereas P (0.38%) was recorded higher at egg stage in the same variety and N (1.54%) was observed maximum in Kesar variety at harvest stage.
