Impact of soils and cropping systems on mineral composition of dry cacao beans

In view of its high economic value, cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) scientists are seeking technological innovations that increases production and improve quality of cacao beans. The objective of this study was to characterize the mineral (N, K, P, Ca, Mg, Si, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Ba) composition of cacao...
