Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect In the controlled-environment experiment, mixing MnSO4 through the soil was the most effective Mn treatment at decreasing take-all of wheat, followed by seed-applied Mn.
- Intervention effect MnO2 had little effect on take-all of wheat in the controlled-environment experiment.
- Intervention effect Foliar-applied Mn had little effect on take-all of wheat in the controlled-environment experiment.
- Intervention effect In the field at a Mn-deficient site, MnSO4 applied to the soil decreased take-all.
- Intervention effect In take-all inoculated field plots, MnSO4 increased grain yield nearly threefold.
- Intervention effect In uninoculated field plots, MnSO4 increased yields only slightly.
- Intervention effect MnO2 was not effective in decreasing take-all or increasing grain yield in the field.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesise that Mn may act through the physiology of the wheat plant to decrease take-all.
