An Attempt to Overcome Iron-Induced Manganese Deficiency in ‘July Elberta’ Peach Trees with Manganese Chelate1

Year: 1975

Type: article

Abstract: Disodium manganous ethylenediamine tetraacetate (MnEDTA), applied to the soil with 113 and 227 g sodium ferric ethylenediamine di-(o-hydroxyphenylacetate) (FeEDDHA), increased the concentration of Mn and reduced the concentration of Fe in ‘July Elberta’ peach leaves ( Prunus persica (L) Batsch). Both rates of the Fe chelate increased Fe and reduced Mn and K in the leaves when compared to non-treated ones. Both rates of the Fe chelate reduced Fe chlorosis and increased shoot growth and size and yield of fruit. Mangenase chelate with 113 g Fe chelate reduced N in the leaves and increased trunk growth. Manganese chelate with 227 g Fe chelate reduced P in leaves. The Zn content in leaves, size of fruit, leaf chlorosis, trunk and shoot growth were not affected by Mn chelate applied with Fe chelate.
