Summary

The effect of morphactin sprayed at 0, 0·5, 1·0, 1·5 or 2·0 mg/1 on the concentrations of several nutrients in snapdragons (Antirrhinum, majus L.) were studied under glasshouse conditions. Snapdragon plants treated with morphactin increased in K, and Mg but decreased in Ca, Mn, Cu, Fe, and Zn. Action of morphactin and nutrient element relationships are suggested.
