Verbatim
e1“It has been shown, in a pot, culture trial, that the addition of EDTA to a neutral, manganese-deficient, organic soil increased the uptake of native manganese by oats”
e7“In a second pot experiment, uptake of added manganese was increased by EDTA added 3-4 weeks after the manganous sulphate”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect EDTA addition increased native manganese uptake by oats in a pot culture trial.
- Intervention effect Manganese uptake from large additions of manganous sulphate was lowered by oats in the presence of EDTX.
- Intervention effect EDTA increased the uptake of iron and copper from a soil by oats at all yield levels.
- Intervention effect No increase in iron, copper or manganese uptake by oats occurred when EDTA was added to the same soil limed to pH 8.
- Intervention effect EDTA prevented grey speck disease in oats, whereas addition of hydroquinoue failed to do so.
- Intervention effect Oat plants treated with hydroquinone contained as much manganese as, or more than, plants treated with EDTX.
- Association Copper and iron uptake from the untimed soil by oats appears linearly related to total transpiration.
