Zusammenfassung: | Cocoa is a crop in increasing demand and cultivated worldwide. However, basic information concerning the movement of nutrients in leaves over time is still unknown, and methods to find an optimal time to collect a sample are still ambiguous. The present work focused on describing the movement of foliar nutrients (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) in productive 5-year-old cocoa clone CCN51 plants at the same dose of 114.8 kg [ha.sup.-1] under different sources of nitrogen fertilization (Urea, calcium nitrate, ammonium sulfate and a control without application). Samples were taken from the time the leaf reached 70% of its total expansion until 10 months of age. The results indicated that the contents of N, Ca and Mg increased as the leaf grew, remained stable between 116 and 158 days of shoot emergence (DSE) and then decreased at the beginning of the leaf senescence period. While the K and P contents decrease from the beginning of the trial until 158 DSE where they are stable until the final stage of leaf life. Around 110 to 120 DSE, the leaves of cocoa CCN51 show a more stable nutritional content, a period in which samples can be collected for leaf analysis. Index terms: nitrogen fertilization, nutrient absorption, sampling, cocoa leaves, nutrition. O cacau e uma cultura em demanda crescente que e cultivada em todo o mundo. No entanto, informacoes sobre os mecanismos de transporte de nutrientes nas folhas, em funcao do tempo, ainda continuam desconhecidas, e os metodos para encontrar um periodo otimo para a amostragem permanecem ambiguos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo descrever o transporte de nutrientes foliares (N, P, K, Ca e Mg) em plantas produtivas de 5 anos de cacau (clone CCN51), na mesma dose de 114,8 kg [ha.sup.-1], sob diferentes fontes de fertilizacao nitrogenada (Ureia, Nitrato de Calcio, Sulfato de Amonio e um controle negativo sem tratamento). A amostragem foi efetuada quando a folha alcancou 70% de sua expansao total ate aos 10 meses de idade. Os resultados revelaram que os conteudos de N, Ca e Mg aumentaram a medida que a folha crescia, mantendo-se estavel entre 116 e 158 DSE e diminuindo no inicio do periodo de senescencia da folha. Entretanto, os conteudos de K e P foram diminuindo desde o inicio do ensaio ate 158 DSE, onde se mantiveram estaveis ate a fase final da vida da folha. Nos valores entre 110 e 120 DSEs, as folhas de cacau CCN51 mostraram um conteudo nutricional mais estavel, periodo em que as amostras podem ser recolhidas para analis |
