ABSTRACT
Arum euxinum R. Mill. is a geophytic plant belonging to Araceae. In this study nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) analysis were carried out during vegetative and generative growth periods. It has been found that above ground parts of plant usually have higher macroelement contents as compared to below ground parts during vegetative growth period. However, below ground parts have higher macroelement contents during generative growth phase due merely to top senescence.
