Manganese plays an important role in winter oilseed rape cultivation, influencing plant development and yield. It participates in the production of chlorophyll, positively influencing the course of photosynthesis.
It takes part in various metabolic reactions that are crucial for the synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Plants with an appropriate level of manganese show increased resistance to diseases thanks to their strengthened cellular structure. Manganese helps plants cope with unfavourable conditions caused by abiotic stress: in particular, drought. This is because manganese supports the development of the root system and, thanks to this, the ability of plants to absorb water and nutrients from the soil increases. Manganese deficiency often occurs in soils with high pH, freshly limed, sandy soils and poor in organic matter. Also in conditions of drought or excess water, plants may have problems with manganese uptake. To counteract manganese deficiencies, it is worth planning foliar treatments that will supplement the level of this nutrient as an intervention or preventive measure. Foliar fertilizers complexed with an organic factor (heptagluconic acid) guarantee high manganese absorption. VitaFer Mn Complex Innovative, single-component foliar fertilizer containing manganese (Mn) 100% complexed with heptagluconic acid. The preparation is intended for emergency and preventive supply of manganese in field crops, vegetable crops, orchards and berry gardens. Manganese is particularly important in the cultivation of wheat and barley, potatoes, corn, sugar beets and winter oilseed rape. Composition: Manganese (Mn) completely complexed by sodium glucoheptonate 5% (% m/m). Dosage: Winter cereals: 0.75 – 2l/ha – treatment in spring after the start of vegetation Winter oilseed rape: 0.75 – 2l/ha – treatment in spring after the start of vegetation Orchards and berry gardens: 0.5 – 1l/ha – 2 to 3 preventive treatments after flowering or the occurrence of nutrient deficiency symptoms.
