The effects of Al on the growth and mineral composition of different cultivars of triticale (x Triticosecale, Wittmack), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) growing in 1/5 strength Steinberg solutions containing 0 or 6 ppm Al were evaluated after 32 days. Aluminium increased the concentrations of P and K in the roots and K in the tops of most of the cultivars tested. Al tolerant triticale retained a lower concentration of Mg in the roots and tops than the Al sensitive triticale when subjected to Al stress. In addition, Al treatments resulted in smaller increases in root P for the Al tolerant triticale than for the Al sensitive
