Abstract: An nutrient deficiencies fertilization experiment was conducted with seven treatments (control treatment, N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S deficient treatments). Growth indices (seedling height, ground diameter, leaf area and leaf perimeter) were measured to study the effects of different nutrient deficiency on the growth of Camellia semiserrata Chi. seedlings. It was indicated that: (1) N deficient treatment had the greatest inhibitory effect on seedling height and ground diameter; (2) sequence of the influence of nutrient deficiency on seedling height was: -N>-Ca>-K>-Mg>-S>-P, and sequence of the influence of nutrient deficiency on ground diameter was: -N>-S>-Ca>-Mg>-P>-K; (3) nutrient deficiencies had no significant effect on leaf growth.
