Abstract
Leaf analysis is one of the main methods used for the evaluation of nutritional requirements in sugarcane culture, contributing to a better management of fertilizers. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of sugarcane varieties by quantifying the leaf content of macro and micronutrients of the +3 leaf. The varieties RB92579, RB867515, VAT90-212 and SP813250 were evaluated in a Yellow Oxisol at Fazenda Jequiá, Anadia, Alagoas (AL) state, during plant-cane, first and second regrowth cycles. The design was randomized blocks consisting of four varieties and five replications. Varietal differences were observed in leaf contents of macro and micronutrients. However, no variety had a higher leaf content regarding any element.
Key words: Macronutrients, micronutrients, nutritional status, production system, Saccharum spp.
