Abstract
HOAGLAND and BROYER (1940) were among the earliest workers to study the effect of the pH of the external environment on the uptake of salts by roots. They obtained no evidence for a relationship between pH and salt uptake by barley roots. The work of OLSEN (1953), however, showed that pH could have a marked effect on salt uptake by rye grass. He found that potassium uptake was reduced at pH values below 5.0. Conversely anion uptake was considerably inhibited at pH values over 6.0, a finding which was later confirmed by VAN DEN HONERT AND HOOYMANS (1955).
