The influence of 0 to 30 mu M sodium fluoride (NaF) on the germination, seedling growth, and total biomass of the cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) was studied under strictly controlled conditions. At the end of 15 days of treatment, significant reductions in percent seed germination, root and shoot length, and total biomass were observed at increasing F concentration. At 30 mu M NaF 100% mortality of the seeds occurred.
