ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION OF CYCLORIUM INTYBUS L. AND URTICA DIOICA L.

Abstract

This experiment was conducted to establish mineral accumulation in different parts of Kazakh samples of Cichorium intybus L. (flowers, stems, leaves, roots) and Urtica dioica L. (stems, leaves, roots). Mineral concentration was determined by atomic emission semiconductor spectral method. As a result, 39 macro, micro and trace nutrients were identified in Cichorium intybus L. and 20 – in Urtica dioica L. High levels of Ca, Mg and Al were found in all parts of Cichorium intybus L and of Ca, K, Zn, Si and P in all parts of Urtica dioica L. The levels of elements not significantly differ between parts of plants. Flowers of Cichorium intybus L. contained low percentage (≤1.0·10-6 %) of Bi, In, Nb, Ta, V, Ge; stems – As, Bi, In, Nb, V, Ge, Sb; leaves – Bi, Nb, Ta, V, Ge, Sb, Se; roots – As, Bi, In, Ta, V, Sb, Se. Stems of Urtica dioica L. contained low percentage (≤1.0·10-3 %) of Mo, Cu, Pb; leaves (≤5.0·10-3 %) – of Mo, B, Ni, Cu; roots (≤7.0·10-3 %) of Cr, Cu, Mo, V, Ni.
