Toxicity of Various Cations 215 



Under the conditions of the experiments much stronger solutions are 

 required in order to prevent top growth than to kill the roots of seedlings. 



Seedlings that have been grown for ten days in either distilled water, 

 tap water, or full nutrient solutions are far more resistant to any toxicant 

 studied than are those that are placed immediately in the toxic solutions.
