Increasing salt concentration from 10 −4 N to 3 × 10 −3 N increased the uptake and percent of N and P in shoots and roots of barley and broad bean plants. This effect was higher the higher the cation valence and the lower the anion valence following the order CaCl 2 > KCl ⩾ K 2 SO 4 . The increase in N and P uptake was higher in broad bean plants having higher C.E.C. than in barley having lower C.E.C.
