  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Growth of &lt;i&gt;Spartina patens&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Spartina alterniflora&lt;/i&gt; was compared under identical greenhouse conditions. Mature plants were grown in quartz sand and watered with the following solutions: (1) full Hoagland's solution; (2) Hoagland's minus iron; (3) Hoagland's minus nitrogen; (4) Hoagland's with NaCl added to 28 &lt;i&gt;o/oo&lt;/i&gt;; (5) sea water of 28 &lt;i&gt;o/oo&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;S. patens&lt;/i&gt; showed improved growth in Hoagland's solution and Hoagland's minus iron, but showed significantly less growth in solutions 3, 4 and 5. &lt;i&gt;S. alterniflora&lt;/i&gt; showed no significant difference in growth in the treatment cultures. General trends which were shown are: (1) &lt;i&gt;S. patens&lt;/i&gt; grew better under low iron levels while &lt;i&gt;S. alterniflora&lt;/i&gt;'s growth was only slightly enhanced under low iron conditions, and (2) growth of both species was reduced more due to saline conditions than to a lack of nitrogen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
