Abstract
The affect of washing or removal of surface contaminants, mineral losses and essentiality of with or without midribs were examined. Concentrations of N and P in the levels of arecanut palms were not affected markedly by the washing procedures whereas K content was affected due to leaching. However, washing is not advisable at the time of sample preparation. Leaf laminae without midribs indicated better index for the content of elements.
