Abstract
Eight species Convunvulus prostrates, Portulaca quadrifida, Taraxacum officinale Albizia lebbeck, Olea ferruginea, Salvadora oleoides, Suaeda fruticosa and Vitex negundo were analyzed for macro and micro minerals in three phenological stages i-e Pre-reproductive, reproductive and post reproductive stages which showed that Ca, Al, P, N, S, Na, K, Mg were macro and Fe, Si, Cu and Cl were micro-nutrients. Nutritional analysis showed that moisture, ash contents, crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and carbohydrate contents are non significant at three phenological stages of herbs and woody species.
