Synopsis Accumulation of P in leaves of Merion exceeded that in common bluegrass. Top growth of Merion was significantly greater and root weights significantly less than common bluegrass. Red fescue outyielded common bluegrass in all plant components except rhizomes. Results indicate that these grass species can tolerate high levels of P and that the upper limits of tolerance were not attained in these studies.
