Abstract: The study aims to provide a scientific basis for the microelements fertilizer application to almond. With the way of thoroughly probing and decomposition sampling, field experiments were conducted to analyze the character of biomass composition, microelements content and its accumulation properties in different parts of Yarkan almonds which were about 9 years old. The results showed that: the total dry biomass of almond was 112.13 kg/plant in which new vegetative organs of the year accounted for 14.14%, fruits accounted for 7.72% and old vegetative organs accounted for 78.14%. The contents of B, Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu from new vegetative organs (leaf, treetop, kernel, shuck, crust, radicel) were more than that from old vegetative organs (limb, trunk, taproot, branch root), but most of them were distributed and cumulated in the old vegetative organs. The accumulative amount of B, Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu of almond were 3115.56 mg/plant, 2167.36 mg/plant, 14242.71 mg/plant, 3039.86 mg/plant and 519.12 mg/plant, respectively. To obtain 1000 kg dry matter of fruits, almonds must absorb B: 227.27 g, Zn: 155.87 g, Fe: 526.73 g, Mn: 163.56 g, Cu: 36.08 g.
