Abstract
VOSE and Koontz1 have reported differences in strontium contents of pasture plants. As there is evidence that the uptake of cations may be influenced by the root cation-exchange capacity of plants2–4 it was of interest to compare the observed variation in strontium uptake among the plants with the corresponding root cation-exchange capacities.
