Development of research on chlorine nutrition of plants is reviewed. Imbalances of supply and recovery of chlorine are discussed. Results elucidate losses to be related to moisture percentages of tissues in preparation for analysis and to ashing techniques. Accretions are related to various advertent contaminations and inadvertent accessions through aerosols in the atmosphere during growth.
