Manganese is one of the most common chemical elements, used for seed treatment, foliar application, and as a foliar fertilizer.
The active substance is absorbed by the plants and as a result of metabolic reactions is distributed to all tissues. The most important function of manganese is participation in redox reactions. The element is an important component of some enzymes that are involved in plant growth and development.
Manganese provides electron transfer during photosynthesis. The chemical element is directly related to the assimilation process by plants. The best way to make up for manganese deficiencies is to use it in organochelate fertilizers. This form allows you to deliver the maximum amount of nutrients to all parts of the plant, without harming the soil and the environment.
Signs of manganese deficiency in plants
Manganese deficiency occurs most often in acidic soils with high lime content. First of all, the lack of this element affects the process of photosynthesis and oxygen production. As a result, manganese deficiency makes plants defenseless against an aggressive environment, slows crop growth, and causes thermal burns and leaf spots.
The main signs of manganese deficiency:
- The appearance of chlorotic spots located on the leaves;
- stunted growth of the plant;
- a sharp decrease in the amount of carbohydrates in all parts of the plant, especially in the roots, due to the disruption of photosynthesis;
- partial or complete absence of fruiting in various crops.
Manganese, especially in liquid chelated form, accumulates beneficial substances, carbohydrates, sugars in the crop. This makes the plants useful, resistant to storage and exposure to low temperatures.
Applications of manganese chelate for plants
Manganese chelate fertilizer in a convenient liquid form is a growth and development stimulant, provides quality and complete plant foliar nutrition. Fertilizers in chelated form remain highly effective and protect vast areas with plantings from disease, drought and other common problems.
Farms have the opportunity to increase with the help of organochelates not only the overall yield, but also the quality of grain, fruit and vegetable crops produced. The preparations are actively used in private farms and agricultural holdings. Actively used by agronomists, agrochemists.
The result of using manganese chelate
Microfertilizers with boron and manganese in organochelate form contain humic and fulvic acids for plants, amino acids and other beneficial substances.
Manganese directly affects the yield of the crop, has a complex effect on plants:
- prevents the development of chlorosis, the appearance of spotting;
- increases the sensitivity of the root system to fertilizers;
- provides moisture retention, which accelerates the overall development of the plant and has a positive effect on fruiting;
- increases the synthesis of vitamin C, glutamine and other beneficial substances;
- takes an active part in the oxidation of ammonia;
- promotes the synthesis of amino acids;
- leads to an increase in the activity of nitrogen-fixing soil microorganisms.
Fertilizer is applied several times when vegetation is active and nutrient deficiencies can occur.
Rules of application of organochelate manganese
Organohelat is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fertilizers are most often used for foliar feeding, to ensure effective leaf feeding of plants. Complex fertilizers prevent common diseases of agricultural plants and fruit and berry crops.
One of the newer forms of release is Mono-Plus fertilizer with boron and manganese. It has a positive effect on the accumulation of sugars in leaves, roots and fruits, accelerates photosynthesis, increases the resistance of crops to drought and other adverse environmental factors. The chelated form of manganese is used throughout the growing season to ensure active growth and development of corn, sunflowers, winter cereals, sugar beets and other common crops.
A big advantage of using manganese chelate is the possible combination of the element with other components, including boron. Follow the instructions. Microfertilizers are suitable for foliar feeding, which is carried out at intervals of 10-15 days several times during the growing season.
Plants are sprayed with a freshly prepared working solution. It should be done only in windless and dry weather, in the evening or in the morning. Carefully monitor the effectiveness of leaf wetting. The working solution is prepared by gradually adding water to the fertilizer and stirring continuously. It is recommended to apply manganese chelate to the leaves of plants before signs of deficiency of this element appear. When spraying, pay special attention to the lower leaves, which are porous and absorb beneficial substances well. Do not use metal containers for the preparation of the working solution.
