Abstract
For nearly half a century following the classical researches with water cultures of Sachs and Knop in 1860 it was generally accepted that for the vast majority of plant species, if not all, ten elements, and ten elements only, were essential for healthy growth. The ten elements were carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. For a few plants it had been suggested that some additional element might be necessary; thus as early as 1862 Nobbe and Siegert came to the conclusion that chlorine was necessary for the healthy development of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). Again, the nutrient solution proposed by Pfeffer contained a certain amount of chlorine and Pfeffer (1900) stated that probably no plant had been grown in complete absence of that element. However, convincing confirmation of these conclusions was not forthcoming in any instance for many years, and the opinion that ten elements were all that were essential for the growth of plants was accepted almost without question.
