Nutrient composition analysis of jasmine leaves in Huvina Hadagali Taluk: A study on macronutrients and micronutrients

Jasmine (Jasminum azoricum) is a commercially significant crop, valued for its fragrant flowers and essential oils. This study investigates the macronutrient and micronutrient composition of jasmine leaves in selected regions of Huvina Hadagali Taluk to assess nutrient variability and its potential impact on plant growth and productivity. Leaf samples from multiple villages were analyzed for key macronutrients (N, P, K, S) and micronutrients (B, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn). The results revealed substantial variations in nutrient concentrations across different locations, indicating site-specific differences in soil fertility and nutrient availability. The observed variations emphasize the need for targeted nutrient management practices to optimize jasmine plant health and yield. Regular soil and leaf nutrient analysis can aid in developing effective fertilization strategies to maintain nutrient balance. Furthermore, adopting sustainable agricultural practices, including organic matter enrichment, balanced fertilization, and proper irrigation management, can mitigate nutrient deficiencies and imbalances. These findings highlight the importance of precise nutrient management for sustainable jasmine cultivation in the region.
