Abstract: | At pollination of maize plants, the old leaves, those of medium age, and young leaves, cut into segments transversally (10 segments) and longitudinally (8 segments and main vein), were sampled and concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg were determined. Then concentration gradients of these elements in maize leaves of different age were evaluated. The results obtained show that concentration gradient of N was the most evident in transversal segments of leaves of different ages, in particular in young leaves, that of K in the old leaves, and the Ca concentration gradient in leaves of medium age. The phosphorus concentration gradient was weakly expressed and in the young leaves not recorded at all. In longitudinal segments, concentration gradients of elements varied in leaves of different ages. |
