“…to be better than 0-1 or 4-0 when using three-salt solutions, and Tottingham (1914) that 2-5 was the optimum with four-salt solutions. McCall (1916a), using sand, recorded that the optimum concentration lay between 1 and 2 atm., whereas Nightingale & Farnham (1936) stated that solutions of 0-5-1-0 atm. were preferable to solutions of 2-3 for the growth of sweet peas.…”

“…A number of experiments has been carried out using various total concentrations of salts when all solutions contained the same ratios of salts, and also when these ratios were varied. Results are to a certain extent conflicting, many authors maintaining that there is an optimum total concentration for plant growth (Brezeale, 1905;Tottingham, 1914;Shive, 1915a;McCall, 1916a;Ayres, 1917;Gracanin, 1935;Hall, Brenchley & Underwood, 1914 a, b), and others (Stiles, 1915;Brenchley, 1916;Hoagland, 1919Hoagland, , 1920) that plants can be grown successfully in a wide range of concentrations; some workers (Trelease, 1917) state that the optimum concentration varies with the proportions of salts used. Stiles (1915) grew rye and barley in four different concentrations, and found that there.was little difference in the dry weights obtained from the four different solutions, although depression of the growth rate did occur when the solutions were not frequently changed.…”

Much work has been done with regard to the elements necessary for plants, their function in the plant, methods of absorption, amounts necessary, nutrient solutions, etc. The following is particularly, concerned with nutrient solutions, including their composition, concentration, methods of application, and the general methods of dealing with sand and water cultures. The work is confined mainly to a study of the major elements.

“…Meier and Halstead (14) ran a series of wheat experiments with Shive's three-salt solution, each series comprising 21 cultures of different salt proportions all having an osmotic concentration of one atmosphere. They found that no one culture gave consistently high yields of plants, and noted, as did Livingston (6), Shive (19), McCall (10), Wolkoff (27), and others, that the total amount of transpiration is as good a criterion as is the final dry weight of plants for studying the comparative growth obtained in different solutions.…”

The present study. in which a comparison is made of the growth of Marquis wheat in sand and solution cultures, represents one of several experiments involving solution III of the National Research Council series which are now in progress in the plant-physiology laboratory at Iowa State College.Most investigators attempting to determine the salt requirements of higher plants have used water cultures. Tottingham (2S) placed the whole proposition on a definite quantitative basis. He took the well-known Knop's solution, and, by varying the proportions of salts under definite volume-molecular partial concentrations, procured a superior yield of wheat of II percent over the original solution.Shive (19) followed the plan suggested by Tottingharn' and, making use of a three-salt solution containing mono-potassium phosphate, calcium nitrate, and magnesium sulphate, obtained an increase in yield of wheat of 27 percent over Tottingham's solution of the same total concentration. McCall (10) used Shive's solution and grew wheat in sand cultures. He noted that the average dry weights of both tops and roots were decidedly greater for the plants grown in sand than for those grown in the solution cultures. Incidentally there was a marked difference between the solutions producing the highest yield of plants in sand and those giving the best growth in Shive's cultures.Livingston and Tottingham (8) made a preliminary test of a series of type III solutions, containing the three component salts KNO z , Ca(H 2P0 4 ) 2 , and MgS0 4 • Their results showed that the solution IIIR6CI was apparently just as good as Shive's best IRSC2 solution. However, this experiment lasted only 18 days.Shive (20) and Shive and Martin (22) studied the salt requirements of young and of mature buckwheat plants in both solution and sand cultures. They found that the solution yielding the maximum weight of tops during the early developmental period, and the solution that gave the highest yield of tops and of roots during the late period of development, were identical for both the solution and the sand cultures, but the actual dry weight of 1 Tottingham (25) has presented an extensive review of literature covering the subject of solution cultures.
