Abstract
THE accumulation of ammonium and acid by Setaria sphacelata (S.s.) during growth under natural conditions is of interest since such behaviour in grasses and nonsucculents is rare. Relevant experiments with this grass and another, Brachiaria ruziziensis (B.r.), which does not show this behaviour are reported here.
