Detection of Manganese Deficiency and Toxicity in Plants

  • Chapter
Manganese in Soils and Plants

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 33))

Abstract

Samuel and Piper (85) were the first to demonstrate that Mn deficiency could cause total yield loss in a field crop (oats). Since then Mn deficiency has been shown to induce losses of equal or lesser magnitude in a wide range of plants (Table 1, Chapter 14).
