Summary Agropyron elongatum made appreciable growth on highly saline soils. When grown under controlled conditions at the early tillering stage, it was found to be somewhat more salt tolerant than a very tolerant variety ofHordeum vulgare. In the field, Cl- and Na-contents of Agropyron were rather low, even at highly saline sites. Under controlled conditions, Cl- and Na-contents of the shoots of this species were considerably lower than of the salt-tolerant variety of Hordeum. InAgropyron elongatum, the plant fluids of the youngest leaves had appreciably lower Cl-concentrations than the corresponding substrates.
