Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Growth of Koroneiki olive plants was similar in both Mn treatments.
- Observation The tolerance index of Picual plants to excess Mn was about half that of Koroneiki plants.
- Intervention effect In both olive cultivars, Mn concentrations in root, stem and leaf parts increased significantly as the Mn concentration in the nutrient solution increased.
- Observation At the high Mn treatment, Koroneiki had 2 to 2.5-fold greater Mn concentrations than Picual in almost all plant parts.
- Observation Koroneiki absorbed much more Mn from the nutrient solution than Picual, giving a higher total Mn content per plant.
- Intervention effect Excess Mn negatively affected the absorption of Fe, Ca and Mg in the olive cultivars, depending on cultivar.
- Intervention effect Excess Mn negatively affected the absorption of P, Zn and B in the olive cultivars, depending on cultivar.
- Intervention effect In both cultivars, Mn use efficiency decreased significantly under excess Mn compared with control plants.
- Intervention effect In both cultivars, the use efficiencies of P, Ca and Fe increased significantly under excess Mn compared with control plants.
- Intervention effect Excess Mn significantly increased stomatal conductance and transpiration rate in both olive cultivars.
- Intervention effect Excess Mn significantly increased the photosynthetic rate only in Koroneiki.
- Intervention effect In Picual, photosynthetic rates were similar in both Mn treatments.
- Intervention effect Excess Mn did not affect the functional integrity of photosystem II in either cultivar, as measured by chlorophyll fluorescence parameters.
- Observation The authors conclude that the internal tolerance of Koroneiki tissues to excess Mn was higher than that of Picual.
