Manganese functions in plant

  • Essential for chlorophyll formation
  • Can accelerate germination and maturity
  • Has a key role in nitrogen assimilation/reduction
  • Primarily responsible for enzyme activation
  • Essential in protein synthesis
  • Can increase availability of phosphates and calcium

Manganese can be deficient in

  • High organic matter soils, compacted soils
  • Sandier textured soils
  • High soil pH
  • Excessive phosphorus, calcium, zinc, copper or iron levels

Symptoms

  • Low mobility, newer leaves can be affected first
  • Interveinal chlorosis on broadleaf crops
  • Leaves and leaf tips show gray to white specks
  • Stunted, wilted leaves on grasses

Critical levels in plant and soil tests

  • Plant Tissue: parts per million (ppm)
    • Critical levels at about 15-150 ppm
    • Corn: 20-150 ppm
    • Beans: 20-150 ppm
    • Wheat: 30-150 ppm
  • Soil Test: parts per million (ppm), 0-6”, Mehlich III extraction
    • Deficient: <1.0 ppm
    • Marginal: 1.0-4.0 ppm
    • Sufficient: >4.0 ppm

Use Ultra Yield Manganese 40 for fall and pre-plant manganese deficiency prevention. Ultra Yield Manganese 40 is the product of choice for broadcast and band applications in a wide range of conditions.

  • Water-soluble manganese at 30%. Manganese 40 delivers more water-solubility than other high-analysis manganese fertilizers.
  • Crop essential sulfur at 6%. All the sulfur in Manganese 40 is in the immediately available form of sulfate sulfur.
  • Nitrogen content of 1% provides added dollar value to Manganese 40 and it is in the ammonium form, which means it won’t volatilize.
  • Manganese 40 offers a lower cost per unit fertilizer versus Agrium Ultra Yield BroadMan 20 and Agrium Ultra Yield Manganese 27. Logistical concerns of freight, warehouse space, and volume of product needed are addressed with this high-analysis fertilizer.
