The macronutrient removal by both cashew nut and apple was evaluated in orchards of two dwarf clones in a field without irrigation and fertilization on a Red-Yellow Podzolic at Pacajus Experimental Station (Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Agroindústria Tropical (CNPAT/EMBRAPA)), in Pacajus, Ceará, Brazil, from March/94 to April/95. CCP-76 and CCP-09 cashew clones did not differ with regard to the macronutrient quantities removed by the cashew nut and cashew apple, except for Ca. This macronutrient was removed in greater quantity by the apples of CCP-76 clone. The order of macronutrient removal by the cashew nuts and the apples was N > K > Mg > P > S > Ca and K > N > Mg > P > S > Ca, respectively.
