Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Counteracting Al and Mn levels in the growth medium affected the color of potato plant tops
- Association Visual symptoms of Mn-induced Fe deficiency were associated with Mn/Fe ratios of 18 or more in nutrient solution cultures
- Intervention effect Aluminum increased plant Fe content and so counteracted Mn-induced Fe deficiency symptoms
- Intervention effect Aluminum decreased Mn/Fe ratios to less than 18
- Association Adding Al or Mn affected absorption and translocation of P, Ca and Mg in nutrient solution cultures
- Intervention effect In sand cultures, Al stunted potato plant tops
- Intervention effect In sand cultures, Mn lengthened potato plant tops
- Intervention effect Mn reduced potato tuber yields at a low Al level (0 ppm)
- Intervention effect Mn did not affect potato tuber yields at intermediate Al levels (5 to 10 ppm)
- Intervention effect Mn increased potato tuber yields at a higher Al level (20 ppm)
- Association Al levels affected the number, size and specific gravity of potato tubers, but Mn levels did not
