Manganese toxicity occurs in many agricultural and natural ecosystems under the various soil conditions such as the nature of substrate, acidity, flooding or vicinity to the mining areas. The objective of this work was to study the effects of excess Mn in the growth medium on three important crop species, namely rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. T. Hashemi), maize (Zea mays L. cv. SC.704) and sunflower...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) on morphological traits of dragon’s head, concentration of Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, P and K in root and shoot and concentration of Cu and Zn in infusion and decoction, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as factorial based on complete randomized design with three replications. Treatments consisted of three levels of Cu...

A pot experiment was conducted in Isfahan University of Technology research greenhouse to investigate the effects of sewage sludge, compost and cow manure on growth and uptake of Fe, Zn, Mn and Ni in tagetes flower. A completely randomized research with three treatments (sewage sludge, compost and cow manure at 25 Mg ha-1) and three replicates was performed. Application of organic wastes signif...

Nitrogen is usually the most limiting nutrient for crop production. Manganese deficiency in some calcareous soils of Iran has been reported. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of N and Mn on the growth and chemical composition of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in a soil from Chitgar series (Fine-loamy, carbonatic, the...

One of the fast responding methods of plants to fertilizer application is foliar application, which saves fertilizer consumption too. Foliar application of micronutrients is a useful method, especially when roots are unable to absorb necessary elements from soil. The amount of available iron (Fe) in calcareous soils, with high pH, is low for sensitive plants, such as sorghum, to Fe deficiency. ...
