In this study, the effects of GA3, Calcium and Boron sprays on seasonal changes of leaf, peel and aril mineral nutrition were studied during 2012 in Mugla which is the second pomegranate producing regions in Turkey. GA3 (50ppm and 75 ppm), Calcium Nitrate (2 %, 4 %) and Boron (1.5 %, 3 %) were applied on two occasions (firstly, in full blossoming; secondly, one month post full blossoming). After applications of GA3, Calcium and Boron, Macronutrients (N, P, K, Mg, Ca) and micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, B) levels measured from May till October in leaf, from June till October in peel and aril. Calcium applications have increased mineral uptake. Mineral content in aril and peel decreased during vegetation period. The concentration of mineral nutrition in leaf samples was stable between August 15 and September 15.
