Macro and micronutrients status of soil is very important not only for plant grows and development (function of plant enzymes and biochemical processes and integrity of plant cells) but is also an indicator for soil fertility. Deficiency of nutrients in soil can lead to the crop yield reductions, while the excess can affect the plant quality and health. In this context, the aim of the study was to evaluate the macro and microelements (Na, Mg, K, Ca, Fe and Se) content in an organic experimental field from Buzău region, using ICP-MS method. The results reveal positive correlation between nutrients content and soil profile. Soil nutrient availability has a significant impact on organic crop production.
