The influence of N fonus and Cl- on solution pH and ion uptake in the hydroponic culture of Ageratum houstonianum (NH₄+-tolerant) and Salvia splendens (NH₄+-sensitive) for a time course of 216 h was investigated. The pH of the hydroponic solution (initially 6.50) supplied with either NH₄+ or NH₄+ + NO₃- was drastically lowered to 3.08, whereas that of the same solution supplied with NO₃- was raised up to 7.74. Solution pH changed more by ageratum than by salvia. The solution Cl- concentration did not influence solution pH significantly.
