Abstract: A plastic pots experiment was conducted during the period from March, 2nd, till October, 12th, 2012. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of different levels of potassium as K2SO4 and different concentrations of proline as well as their interaction on N,P and K status of roselle plant. Three levels of K (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 g/pot) interacted with four concentrations of proline (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg/l) were used. Results revealed that K treatment (2 gm/pot) gave higher percentage of N, P and K of roselle plant as well as their rates of absorption and transport. There was a significant effect of proline on the above mentioned characteristics where 150 mg/l proline was superior among others. A part from P and K transport rates, the interaction had a marked effect on the rest of N, P, K traits.
