Abstract

Camellia sinensis, which is widely used as a beverage in our country
and in the world, has various beneficial effects on human health due to its
various components. Farmers use chemical fertilizers to get more products.
However, the use of more chemical manure may cause some problems in terms of
environmental pollution and human health. Due to the lack of some nutritious
minerals in the soil, various manure ingredients are used for better
cultivation and growth. In this study, in order to investigate the effect of
use of manurate on tea plant on 5 different soils in Rize, the concentrations
of 18 elements in the leaves were analyzed using the ICP-MS device.  When manure was used in tea, the
concentration of Li, Mg, K, Al, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Pb elements
increased and Na, Co, Ni, Hg values decreased.
