EFFICIENT NEW
SOLUTION FOR
MANGANESE
DEFICIENCY IN
ARABLE CROPS
» » TACKLING THE
commonest trace element
deficiency in UK arable
crops has been made easier
and more effective with the
launch of a new concentrated
manganese formulation
requiring lower application rates
than common alternatives.
Mn350, available from
Fielder (UK) Ltd, includes
35% manganese in both
nitrate and sulphate formats,
plus significant inclusions of
potassium (6.5%), nitrogen
(10%) and sulphur (11%) to
provide additional crop nutrition
benefits.
Manganese deficiency is
common across many soil
types and exacerbated by wet
and cold conditions, affecting
cereals, oilseed rape, legumes
and many other crop types.
It is estimated to have some
impact in 60-70% of UK soils,
and is most commonly seen in
cereal crops, appearing as light
brown stripes of dying tissue on
otherwise green leaves.
“If signs of manganese
deficiency are visible then
the crop will already be at risk
of a yield deficit down the
line,” explains Barrie Hawkin
of Fielder. “It’s important to
be vigilant and act quickly
by applying manganese,
particularly when crops are
under stress due to cold and
wet conditions, or when crops
are in water deficit. Manganese
deficiency is quite commonly
seen, but few appreciate the
impact it can have on the
yield potential of crops come
harvest.”

Mn350 offers a more
concentrated form of
manganese (35% compared
with the 15% most commonly
available) and contains both
nitrate and sulphate salts. This
makes the manganese readily
available, for rapid plant uptake,
but also ensures a good level
of persistence in the leaf.
Given its more concentrated
formulation, Mn350 requires
lower application rates
than conventional forms of
manganese, at 0.5–1.5l/ha, so
is quicker and easier to apply
as a stand-alone application,
or takes up less tank capacity
when applied in a tank mix with
fungicides or herbicides.
“There is also the practical
consideration of storage
before use and disposal of
spent containers,” adds Barrie
Hawkin. “Mn350 is supplied
in 5 litre containers, which are
easier to store, handle and
dispose of than the 1,000 litre
bulk containers used for most
conventional manganese
products.”
