This approach reveals the ability of chestnut trees to i grow in a poor soil with no additional supply of minerals for at least 2 years and ii draw elements from the mineral reserve of the soil. The growth of trees is enhanced by supplying nutrients especially NPK. These nutrients directly modify the element availability in the soil and increase its pH. They also induce variations in cation content within different organs eg significant increases in calcium and magnesium but not in potassium content. Moreover manganese seems to be important for the cationic balance in all organs as it is accumulated when trees are unfertilized but not when quick-lime is supplied. calcium Castanea sativa I fertilization growth mineral nutrition Resume - Croissance et contenu mineral de jeunes châtaigniers cultivés en conditions nutritives contrôlées. La culture contrôlée de jeunes arbres forestiers en limitant les entrees et sorties d elements minéraux permet d evaluer rapidement les effets directs de la fertilisation. Ainsi le Chataignier est capable de pousser pendant au moins deux ans sur un substrat pauvre et sans amendement montrant ainsi son aptitude à puiser des elements dans la reserve minérale du sol. Toutefois une fertilisation notamment par NPK améliore sa croissance. Ces apports modifient la disponibilité des elements dans le sol y augmentent le pH et provoquent des
