Abstract:The effect of the omission of limiting nutrients on the growth of young Etlingera elatior plants (cv. Porcelana) has been studied using the technique of the missing element. The experiment was carried out in greenhouse in a completely randomized block with eight treatments (control and omission of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S and B). In this study were evaluated plant growth, visual symptoms of deficiencies, as well as the content of macronutrient and boron in leaf, stem, and root. Individual omissions of nutrient produced symptoms of deficiency, besides promotes a reduction in plant growth, being omission more intense linked to potassium, when compared to control treatment. Levels of macronutrients (g k-1) and boron (mg kg-1) in leaves in control treatment control were 21.39, 1.72, 14.06, 11.48, 3.05, 2.29, and 28.81 linked to N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, and B, and under omission individuals of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, and B were showed the values of 14.04, 0.81, 5.40, 3.98, 0.88, 1.12, and 16.73, respectively.
