The mineral contents of Centaura leave and seeds were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Macro element concentrations (P, K, Ca, Mg and S) of samples were found at high levels. K was established at high level in both leave and seed samples of Centaurea. While K contents of leaves changes between 7254.10 mg/kg (Centaurea lycaonica) and 26396.36 m...
