Abstract
Excised barley roots in the presence of benzimidazole accumulate about twice as much potassium in 6 hours as those in a potassium source only. The enhanced rate of uptake is maintained steadily during this time. Sodium and calcium accumulation are similarly augmented but not at identical levels.Keywords
