Abstract
THE summary in Nature1 of the paper by Walsh and Clarke2 directs attention to the methods of treating tomato plants affected by induced magnesium deficiency. The paper emphasizes the importance in this connexion of the potash level in the soil, a relationship which was previously described by Cromwell and Hunter3, and a review of the position may be timely.
