Perchlorate and Agriculture on Mars
Perchlorate (ClO<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup>) is globally enriched in Martian regolith at levels commonly toxic to plants. Consequently, perchlorate in Martian regolith presents an obstacle to developing agriculture on Mars. Here, we assess the effect of perchlorate at different...
