A factorial experiment, consisting of 3³ x 2 with two replications was conducted in a greenhouse at Piracicaba (SP), Brazil. Three levels of P (0.0, 16.0 and 32.0 ppm), B (0.0, 2.0 and 4.0 ppm), Zn (0.0, 3.0 and 6.0 ppm). two levels of lime (0.0 and 6.0 gr. CaCO3 + 2.5 gr. MgCO3) were applied to 8.0 kg of an Orthox soil originated from a "Cerrado" area from Itirapina (SP), Brazil. The application of phosphorus, Boron, Zinc and lime, changed the concentration of the mayor elements in the foliar tissue. The application of lime and phosphorus increased the concentration of these elements in the foliar tissue.
