Abstract
Effects were compared of different concentrations in nutrient culture solutions of KCl alone and its mixture with NaCl on the growth of mung beans. At the same concentrations of Cl, growth was more reduced in KCl solutions alone than in mixtures of NaCl and KCl. Growth reduction in KCl solutions seemed to be related to higher (K + Na) and Cl contents of the shoots due to higher rates of net transport from roots to shoots.Keywords
