Well-balanced nutrition including healthy levels of essential micronutrients like manganese (Mn) plays a key role in a crop’s natural ability to resist diseases. Mn is known as an activator of a crop’s internal defense responses, especially when it comes to root rots. Keep reading to learn more about how manganese supports a crop’s ability to resist diseases.
Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient that while needed in small amounts, plays a key role in photosynthesis. Mn sparks the photosynthesis process by splitting water after Photosytem II (PSII) fixes light to initiate the conversion of CO2 and water into carbohydrates.
Manganese deficiency is widespread in Canadian Prairies and Eastern Canada, reducing growth and development of many crops and restricting yields and quality. In this post we will specifically examine the role of manganese in plants, the consequences if its deficiency and provide solutions to mitigate the crop stress due to manganese shortage or deficiency.
The most critical stage in establishing a plant’s yield potential is in The First 30 Days®. Start your season off strong.
The FINAL 30 Days® consists of nutritional management programs to enhance fill and quality of grain and oilseed crops.

I entered a Soybean Yield Challenge in my area during the 2016 growing season. With agronomic advice throughout the season from, Trevor Thorton (Crop Care Consulting, Portage La Prairie MB) and Dr. Abdel El Hadrami from (OMEX Agriculture Inc., Oak Bluff, MB) I was able to obtain fantastic results. My soybean trial was weighed out by 3rd party personnel, and yielded an exceptional 59 bushels per acre; the next closest yield in the challenge was 40 bushels per acre. I would also like to mention OMEX Territory Manager Rob Hinton, was instrumental in making all this come together.
