Abstract
Efficient cashew plants in relation to nutrition may represent gains in growth and production, especially in low fertility soils. This study aimed to determine the accumulation, the uptake, transport, and utilization efficiencies in different cashew genotypes. Twelve genotypes were evaluated, 10 of the dwarf type, a common type, and a hybrid. The seedlings were grown in plastic pots filled out with organic substrate. Sixty days after sowing, the plants were collected for the determination of dry matter and macro and micronutrients concentrations. Nutrient accumulation in cashew follows the descending order: N > K > P > Mg > Ca > S > Fe > Mn > Cu > B > Zn. Overall, for all nutrients, plants from BRS 274 had the high accumulation and utilization efficiency; the CCP 06 and CCP 76 in uptake; and the CCP 76 and BRS 189 in transport.
