Abstract :
To be acquainted with the essential nutrients for plants for the sake of their growth is an important aspect of successful production of crops. These macro nutrients are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (C), and Magnesium (Mg).Elaeagnusangustifoliais a small tree and it is also called a large shrub. It has silvery leaves and thorny body. This species is tolerant to saline as well as alkaline soils and is hosted from Russia. This essential plant nutrient research will definitely help to solve such nutrient deficiency problems. This aim of present study wasto explore the importance of essential nutrients for livestock and to assist farmers in the selection of fodder and forage.The results showed that concentrations of N, P, K, Ca and Mgin the dry foliage of Russian olive were 3.75, 0.558, 4.37, 2.459 and 0.769 % respectively. It may be concluded from the results that the range of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in the leaves of E. angustifoliawas very close to sufficient range of plant N, P, K, Ca and Mg content.
