Two cultivars of cotton (Gossypium spp) were grown in Yolo loam soil in a glasshouse to determine phytotoxicity effects of Cr and Li and possible interactions with other metals. The Cr at 100 ..mu..g/g soil had no adverse effects on either cultivar studied. A Cr increase was not observed in either stems or leaves. Both cultivars tolerated 25 and 50 ..mu..g Li/g soil. The 50 ..mu..g Li/g soil resulted in leaves of Acala SJ-2 with 432 ..mu..g Li/g leaves and 720 in Giza 45. The 100 ..mu..g Li/g soil resulted in 74 percent and 87 percent leaf yield reductions in Acala SJ-2 and Giza 45 respectively. Leaf concentrations of Li respectively were 1950 and 1850 ..mu..g/g. Except at the highest level of Li, leaves had higher concentrations of Li than did roots. The Cr and Li resulted in some plant metal interactions.
