ABSTRACT

The plants need many different metal elements a classified macro, micronutrient, and trace elements for growth development, and reproduction, which have mobilized from the soil and absorbed by the roots as metal ions. The study focused on four plants including (Allium Cepavar, Cajanus Cajan, Cirullus Lanatus, and Tomato Leaves) from farms around jebel Mun areas. Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission spectroscopy. The concentrations of macronutrients were (0.02 - 1.60, 1.80- 11.0, 0.01 – 0.12, 0.05 -0.34, and 0.17 - 1.50 ppm) for Mg, P, S, K, and Ca respectively. Whereas micronutrient concentrations reveals (0.02- 0.12, 0.05- 4.60 0.00 - 0.02, 0.00 - 0.09, and 0.01- 0.017 ppm) for Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, and Zn respectively. While beneficial elements of B and Si were recorded (0.01-0.14, 0.01 -0.05 ppm).
