“…The similar yields for each soil type and the generally small growth responses found to added K or Na enable the relative abilities of lucerne and white clover to accumulate Na from both soil and fertiliser sources to be compared simply and directly, without the need to consider any dilution effects resulting from yield differences. By the same token, however, the seemingly adequate supply of soil K, evidenced by the generally small growth responses resulting from the addition of K fertiliser, would be expected to minimise plant responsiveness to added Na, which often tends to be greatest when K supplies are low (Henkens 1965;Lancaster et al 1953;Truog et al 1953;Wallace et al 1948) . …”

Effects of fertiliser potassium : sodium ratio on yield and concentration of sodium, potassium, and magnesium in lucerne and white clover

The effects of various K:Na fertiliser ratios on the uptake of Na, K, and Mg by lucerne (Medicago sativa L. cv. 'Wairau') and white clover (Trifolium repens L., cv. 'New Zealand Certified') were evaluated using two soils, in a glasshouse experiment. Herbage Na concentrations tended to increase with increasing proportion of Na in the fertiliser mixture, but the magnitude of the effect was greater for white clover than for lucerne. The effects of K fertiliser addition on Na uptake appeared to be more complicated than a simple ion antagonism, as indicated by the varying results for the two plant species on the two soil types. K fertilisers depressed Mg uptake more than did Na fertilisers. The practical implications of the findings are discussed.

“…Many of the studies on beneficial effects have focused on the partial to near-complete replacement of potassium by sodium, typically in the concentration range of several millimolar, reporting either no negative, or indeed palpably positive, effects on plant growth and yield. In many of the cases, growth was particularly stimulated when K + supply was low, and plants suffered at least partial K + deprivation (Mullison and Mullison 1942;Wallace et al 1948;Lehr 1950;Cope et al 1953;Lancaster et al 1953;Lehr 1953;Gammon 1953;Truog et al 1953;Ulrich and Ohki 1956;Flowers and Läuchli 1983;Subbarao et al 2001;Subbarao et al 2003). Tables 1, 2, and 3 summarize a substantial body of studies that have reported such beneficial effects, listing the species examined, the parameters reported, and the Na + concentrations at which effects were seen.…”

Sodium as nutrient and toxicant

Background Sodium (Na + ) is one of the most intensely researched ions in plant biology and has attained a reputation for its toxic qualities. Following the principle of Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (Paracelsus), Na + is, however, beneficial to many species at lower levels of supply, and in some, such as certain C4 species, indeed essential. Scope Here, we review the ion's divergent roles as a nutrient and toxicant, focusing on growth responses, membrane transport, stomatal function, and paradigms of ion accumulation and sequestration. We examine connections between the nutritional and toxic roles throughout, and place special emphasis on the relationship of Na + to plant potassium (K + ) relations and homeostasis. Conclusions Our review investigates intriguing connections and disconnections between Na + nutrition and toxicity, and concludes that several leading paradigms in the field, such as on the roles of Na + influx and tissue accumulation or the cytosolic K + /Na + ratio in the development of toxicity, are currently insufficiently substantiated and require a new, critical approach.

“…Direct effects of Na on sugar beet growth in field experiments have been reported for muck soils by Harmer and Benne (9) and Harmer et al (10), for sand cultures by Tullin (32), and for table beets in pot experiments with soils by Larson and Pierre (18). Sodium deficiency symptoms have been reported (32) or described (9) in only a few instances and so far no specific function of Na, not performed by K, has been recorded (17,19). Yet for the beet, "sodium may almost be deemed an indispensable nutrient element, approaching potassium in importance" (19).…”

“…As an indirect factor of growth the beneficial effects of Na applications to the soil have been explained frequently as a release of K from the soil, or as promoting better root development (5). These phenomena have been considered of special importance in meeting the K requirements of plants on soils low in K. Quite often too the growth of plants has been increased by the addition of Na salts to soils (4,5,8,17,36) or to nutrient solutions low in K (12,24,35). When plants are high in K, Na responses have been observed (12,18,31) but most often these are much reduced or not at all in evidence (4,17,18,22,35).…”

Chlorine, sodium and silicon have long been considered as elements that are possibly essential to the growth and development of sugar beets and other plants. Of these elements Cl has been found just recently by Broyer et al (2) to correct a severe nutritional deficiency of the tomato plant when grown in low halide culture solutions. Raleigh (28) Much has been written about Na in terms of direct and indirect effects upon plant growth (5,9,10,19,20,23 In view of these reports, often indefinite in their conclusions, it was thought worthwhile to re-examine Na, Si and Cl in relation to the growth of sugar beet plants by adding these elements to otherwise complete culture solutions prepared from "chemically pure" salts. The initial experiment was of a factorial design using two levels of the elements in question. The first level of Cl, Na or Si was the amount present as an impurity in the salts and distilled water. The other level was an exact quantity added. It was thought that if the requirement for any one or more of these elements was larger than that provided by the impurities present, it would be revealed by the increased growth of the plants at the higher nutrient level. If increased growth was not obtained, the second step to be taken would include a further purification of all salts for each of the elements not found to enhance growth or development of the sugar beet plant. Two other factors were also included in the experiment; K at 2 levels and 2 beet varieties, giving a total of 5 factors each at 2 levels. METHODS AND MATERIALSPLANT CULTURE: The sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) varieties used in the 25 factorial experiment were U.S. 22/3 and GW 304, and for the chloride series experiment, U.S. 75
