Description
Mangan 10 LG S is a manganese fertilizer indicated in treatments of plants suffering from deficiencies that occur as a result of lack or poor availability of this element. Manganese underlies certain processes that directly or indirectly affect various biological activities and also exerts strong catalytic activity on the enzyme responsible for indolacetic acid oxidation (IAA) and thus auxin formation. It is important in the biochemical processes of respiration and photosynthesis and activates the production of vitamin C. Its deficiency results in a decrease in these processes. Although often present in the soil, this trace element is not very mobile in the plant because of its low affinity to form organic compounds. High pH soils, consistent presence of Ca and Mg in the soil, drought situations, and situations of strong seasonal light are factors that reduce manganese availability and lead crops to deficiency phenomena. These are manifested by: internerval and marginal chlorosis of both young and old leaf tissue, presence of brown spots on young leaves, presence of necrotic indentations in green-veined leaves.
