Elements
MnManganese
Manganese is essential in enzyme systems, photosynthesis and root growth.
Manganese is important in the synthesis of lignin for strength and stiffness of plant cell walls.
SSulphur
Sulphur has many critical functions in plant including: Formation of chlorophyll essential for photosynthesis. The majority of Sulphur in crops is as a constituent of three S-containing amino acids (cysteine, cystine and methionine), which are the building blocks of protein. It is important for yield and crop quality, and essential for enzyme activation, nitrogen metabolism and in oilseeds it is crucial for oil synthesis.
Application Rates
- Use product according to soil test.
- Typical broadcast rates are 4 to 20 lbs manganese per acre or about 1–4 lbs manganese per acre in the seed row.
- Soil application as part of an N-P-K blend.
- Normal bulk blending procedures.
- Critical Relative Humidity Index (CRHI) must be observed when adding additional products to granular fertilizer blends. For additional CRHI information click here.
