Wilchem - Model 170 -Manganese Sulfate
Uses: A manganese sulfate solution used to correct and prevent manganese deficiency in a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops. Manganese sulfate solution can be applied to soils or as a foliar application for broadacre farming and horticultural production where manganese deficiency may occur.
Analysis (w/v):
- Manganese (Mn) - 170 g/l (as sulfate)
- Sulfate (S) - 99 g/l (as sulfate)
- pH – 4 to 5
- Specific gravity (SG) - 1.41
- Colour – a light pink clear aqueous liquid
Foliar sprays are the most effective way of applying manganese sulfate solution. If applied directly to the soil the manganese can become “locked up” especially in calcareous high pH soils. Apply manganese sulfate solution to actively growing plants, early to mid tillering. Reapply as necessary. Manganese can be applied by boom spray and aerial in broadacre crops. For best results in field crops use 80-100 litres of water per hectare. If using low volume spray equipment avoid application when the temperature exceeds 30⁰C. Uptake is improved by spraying in the cool of the mornings and evenings. Always use good quality water that is low in salts for foliar spraying.
