[Objective] The aim was to find out the distribution of Fe, Mn and Cu contents in cashew leaves. [Method] Using the cashew orchard with stable yield in Hainan as the objects, the sampling sites were arranged systematically, and all leaf samples were collected during the annual growth period, so as to analyze the con- tents of trace elements of Fe, Mn and Cu in cashew leaves, as well as to clarify the distribution rules of Fe, Mn and Cu contents in cashew leaves. [Result] The contents of Fe, Mn and Cu in cashew leaves were related with the annual growing period that in October, when the growth of cashew tree became active to accumu- late nutrients for the following bud differentiation and fruit growth, the contents of trace elements in the leaves increased gradually, while in March of the next year, when the fruit-setting consumed a large amount of nutrients, the contents of trace elements in the leaves decreased gradually. [Conclusion] This study provided ideas for the management of nutrients in cashew.
