The black oats seem to have taken more nutrients up. This is seen in the Nitrogen, Phosphorus, potassium and Sulphur. There is minimal difference in the uptake of magnesium. Only the calcium has seen more

of an uptake in the conventional oats.

Similar to the leaf analysis, the zinc has seen the most uptake, particularly in the black oats too. The boron and copper uptake are very similar in both, but the conventional oats taking up slightly more boron. Manganese has been separated due to the larger amounts. The nutrients taken up into the leaf are more in the black oats, however conventional oats have more in the roots.
