The  plants  of  Nanded  region  of  Maharashtra  are potential  source  of  nutritionally  and  phytochemically important compounds. The animals and human beings in this region are fully dependent on these plants for food, fodder, fibre and fuel. The plant species growing in  this region  besides  their  medicinal importance may  contain  sufficient  amount  of  nutrients  to  be considered as livestock feed.  The present investigation deals with evaluation of Sodium contents of Leaves of Mango (Mangifera indica) plant. The Leaves of the selected plant species taken for present investigation were collected from six region of Nanded City.
