- Association Extractable soil manganese predicted leaf tissue manganese with correlation 0.704.
- Observation Soil pH declined from 6.8 to 6.0 before the first harvest.
- Observation DTPA extractable soil manganese increased from 0.14 to 0.24 yg/g before the first harvest.
- Observation Control soybean leaf manganese was never below 21 yg/g.
- Intervention effect Low manganese additions produced no significant top growth response.
- Intervention effect Low manganese additions produced no significant nitrogen fixation response.
- Intervention effect Low manganese additions produced no significant nodule measurement response.
- Intervention effect The highest manganese rate was mildly toxic to soybean top nitrogen content.
- Observation At the highest manganese rate, soybean leaf tissue reached 171 to 180 yg/g in the final three harvests.
