The concentrations and absolute amounts of N, P and K in the leaves, stems, roots and reproductive parts of Cayenne pineapple plants from a standard commercial spring (August) planting of slips were found by monthly sampling until the green fruit stage. N and K concentrations in the leaves and stems reached well-defined peaks in the February following planting. The leaves had higher concentrations of K whereas the stems had higher concentrations of N.
