Effect of locality and cultivar on microelement concentrations in apple leaf

Abstract

This paper presents the results relating to Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and B availability in the apple leaf depending on the locality, cultivar, research year, and their interaction. The localities and cultivars had a highly significant effect only on Mn concentration, while study years affected Fe concentration. Based on correlation between all the parameters, no significant effect on variations in Cu and B concentrations was revealed, whereas a marked effect on variations in Mn concentration was most expressed.
