Abstract

Elemental concentrations of Al, Cr, Mn. Fe, Co, Ni, Cu. Zn, Ga, Rb, Sr, Y, Cd. Cs, Ba. La, Ce, Nd. Sm, Gd, and Pb have been measured and established in Tomato Fruits grown on Nigerian soil known to have suffered a long‐term application of various types of fertilizers. Results obtained were compared with established chemical data on tomato fruits. Values obtained for most of the elements do not show substantial diifference from the published data. However, Cr, Mn, Ni, Zn, Rb, and Cd values are slightly higher than expected.
