Two cultivars of cotton (Gossypium spp) were grown in solution culture in a glasshouse to determine phytotoxicity effects of excesses of Cr and Li. The 10/sup -4/M Cr/sub 2/(SO/sub 4/)/sub 3/ resulted in leaf yield reduction of 83 percent and in leaf, stem, and root concentrations respectively of 22, 15, and 410 ..mu..g Cr/g with the Acala SJ-2 cv. With the Giza 68 cv. the same level of Cr resulted in leaf yield reduction of 88 percent and in 19, 47, and 450 ..mu..g Cr/g for leaf, stem, and roots respectively. The Cr resulted in many mineral interactions. The 10/sup -4/M Li/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ resulted in very little if any yield reductions in either cv. Plant Li concentrations were 40, 8, and 10 and 45, 10, and 5 for leaf, stem, and root for Acala SJ-2 and Giza 68 respectively. Both cultivars tolerated Li equally well.
