Abstrakt: Potato plants (cvs. 'Russet Burbank', 'Red Pontiac', 'Norchip' and 'Norgold Russet') were grown in an artificial medium for 28 days under greenhouse conditions and were watered with solutions containing various rates of NaCl or NaSO alone and in combination with CaSO. NaCl and NaSO slowed growth of young plants. On a mole basis NaSO slowed growth more than NaCl. The addition of CaSO reduced the deleterious effect of NaCl or NaSO solutions. Growth of 'Russet Burbank' plants was the most adversely affected by solutions of NaCl or NaSO. Watering with solutions of NaCl or NaSO also reduced the number of 'Russet Burbank' plants.
