ResumoS ummary The rooting response of seven populations of Agrostis tenuis Sibth. to a range of copper concentrations in calcium nitrate solution is described. Variation in both index of tolerance and sensitivity of rooting to increased copper levels were found and shown to be phenotypically independent characters. It is suggested that rooting sensitivity to a range of copper concentrations provides a further measure of copper tolerance which is independent of the methods previously employed for assessing tolerance.
