Abstract
IN the past five years chlorine has been shown to be an essential micronutrient for a number of vegetable and crop plants1,2. More recently, the need for chlorine was demonstrated in the annual pasture plant, subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum, L.)3. The solution culture medium used in these experiments was prepared by adding highly purified inorganic salts to twice-distilled water. In addition, the plants were grown in glasshouses fitted with filters to purify the incoming air.
