The influence of soil‐moisture tension ranges and chloride (Cl − ) levels on the yield and Cl − content of bromegrass was investigated in a growth chamber experiment. Although the differences were not large, the wettest tension ranges significantly outyielded the driest moisture tension ranges. Any addition of Cl − caused a significant increase in the Cl − content of bromegrass. For the 0 and 75 lb. rates and to a lesser extent with 150 lb., Cl − % decreased greatly with each successive crop. With 0% Cl − there was a significant tendency for Cl − % to decrease with increase in moisture tension. Moisture tension differences did not consistently affect the Cl − % when 75 lb. of Cl − per acre were added. With 150 lb. of Cl − , Cl − % generally increased significantly with increase in moisture tension.
