Abstract
ALUMINIUM and manganese toxicities are now recognized as being major factors in the soil acidity complex1. The adaptability of crop plants to acid conditions is of practical interest, and the question arises as to whether selection for persistence on acid soils can be made indirectly via selection for resistance to aluminium and manganese toxicities. Dessureaux2 has achieved some success in selection for resistance to manganese toxicity in Medicago sativa.
