Abstract

Manganese deficiency in cereal growing areas of Western Australia appears to be restricted to some of the ironstone gravelly soils of certain districts. Wheat, oats and barley make poor growth on such soils unless the deficiency is remedied by applying manganese sulphate as a soil dressing or as a foliage spray.
