The accumulation of cations and NO 3 -N was higher in cucumber shoots than in pea shoots grown on nitrate nutrition. Total N concn in shoots did not differ between the species. Ammonium nutrition suppressed cation accumulation in cucumbers but not in peas. Differences in cation accumulation in the shoots are attributed to the form in which N is translocated from root to shoot.
