Role of Manganese in Rye Production
The role of Manganese in small grain production is similar to that of copper.
It is associated with chlorophyll synthesis and certain enzyme activities. Manganese, a micronutrient, is needed in small amounts. The availability of manganese decreases as soil pH increases. Manganese deficiency can be corrected by applying manganese sulphate (25 to 28 percent).
Deficiencies: Deficiency causes yellowing (chlorosis) between the veins of the younger leaves, which sometimes also show a light green or whitish colour.
