Shoots of a range of grass species were toxic to other grasses and clover when decomposed anaerobically (Table VII). Ttie phytotoxicity seemed to be caused by organic acids and was less after 20 days of decomposition than after 10. Festuca rubra > Agrostis stolonifera/ and Alopecurus pratensis residues were the most toxic which to an extent is consistent with field observations that residues of the former two species are particularly difficult to seed into. When the shoots were decomposed aerobically, some were toxic after 10 days but this toxicity disappeared after 20 days when some residues could stimulate plant growth (Table VII).

Enzyme induction is an indirect effect of metal toxicity. In consequence, it only appears after in-vivo metal application. Increase in capacity in the presence of toxic concentrations of metals implies that the enzyme involved is insensitive to or well masked from direct metal action. In Silene cucubalus POD and to a lesser extent ICDH were shown to be very tolerant to zinc, copper and cadmium applied in-vitro (Mathys, 1975). MDH extracted from roots of both copper tolerant and non-tolerant clones of Agrostis stolonifera was found to be insensitive in-vitro to copper concentrations up to 180 im. However, in the literature, conflicting results are reported about the effects of in-vitro and in-vivo application of metals on enzymes. In Phaseolus vulgaris, GDH was inhibited by cadmium in-vitro, while an induction was found after in-vivo application of a toxic dose of the same metal (Weigel and Jager, 1980b).
