To be acquainted with the essential nutrients for plants for the sake of their growth is an important
aspect of successful production of crops. These macro nutrients are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P),
Potassium (K), Calcium (C), and Magnesium (Mg). Elaeagnus angustifolia is a small tree and it is
also called a large shrub. It has silvery leaves and thorny body. This species is tolerant to saline as
well as alkaline soils and is hosted from Russia. This essential plant nutrient research will definitely
help to solve such nutrient deficiency problems. This aim of present study was to explore the
importance of essential nutrients for livestock and to assist farmers in the selection of fodder and
forage. The results showed that concentrations of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in the dry foliage of Russian
olive were 3.75, 0.558, 4.37, 2.459 and 0.769 % respectively. It may be concluded from the results
that the range of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in the leaves of E. angustifolia was very close to sufficient range
of plant N, P, K, Ca and Mg content.
