E. W. D. Huffman, Jr.a,2 and W. H. Allawayb

a United States Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory, Northeast Region, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Ithaca, New York 14850, Department of Agronomy, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14850

Chromium was not required for normal growth of romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. subsp. longifolia), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), or bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in solution culture containing 3.8 x 10–4 µM Cr. Plants grown on this purified nutrient solution contained an average of 22 ng Cr/g dry weight. Duckweed (Lemna sp.) grew and reproduced normally on a dilute nutrient solution containing 3.8 x 10–5 µM Cr.
