Summary

The influence of three rates of each of N, P and K fertilizers on the availability of native and applied Mn to wheat was studied in a field experiment on an alluvial soil of the Indo-Gangetic plain. Increasing dressings of N as ammonium sulphate resulted in consistently higher yields and Mn uptake by the crop. Concentration of Mn in the grain increased with increasing N dressings when native Mn and Mn fertilizer supplied this nutrient but it was unaffected inplants sprayed with Mn. Adding P as superphosphate tended to lower the concentration of Mn in the grain when relying on native or applied Mn but it significantly enhanced the crop yield and total Mn uptake. Applying K as muriate of potash slightly depressed Mn uptake by plants. Potassium had a more pronounced effect in the absence of P fertilizer. The concentration of Mn in thestraw was not significantly affected by N, P and K fertilization.
