Effect of Manganese Soil and Seed Treatments on Growth and Yield of Peas1

Year: 1973

Type: article

Abstract: A broadcast MnSO 4 treatment of 38 Kg Mn/ha resulted in 2½-fold increase in both plant growth and shelled pea yields of ‘Darkskin Perfection’ peas. Pods per plant and peas per pod, 2 components of the yield equation, were reduced by Mn deficiency. Seed treatments of Mn EDTA were not effective in correcting the deficiency.
