Investigations have been recently carried out on the effects of low concentrations of sodium thiosulphate on the germination and subsequent root growth of a number of plants. (These investigations were undertaken as a result of earlier work, not yet published, by Quastel, Hewitt arid Nicholas, on the effects of thiosulphate on growth of crops in soils.)
