This study concerns the selective absorption of K and Rb or of K and Na by intact sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) plants from modified conventional nutrient solutions over an extended period of plant growth. Long term results agreed with those of short term experiments by other investigators using excised root systems and simple salt solutions. Potassium and Rb were mutually competitive in their absorption. High selectivity of K relative to Na absorption was observed. Sodium was excluded during the early growth period of sugar beets.
