dc.descriptionAbstract: The studies tested the toxic effects of trinitrotoluene (TNT) to plants grown hydroponically. The first study tested the effect of temperature and TNT concentration on plant growth, and the second tested the effect of TNT on various legumes and grass. The studies showed that the tolerance to TNT is related to both the genotypic characteristics of the plant and its rate of growth. Plants growing in more optimum environments and having a greater growth rate were more tolerant to the injurious effects of TNT. TNT tolerance was greater in grasses than in legumes. The growing points of plants originating from the crown were most tolerant to TNT injury.-
