Abstract: | Summary Flax growing on a calcareous soil in the greenhouse developed Mn toxicity symptoms. The toxicity was eliminated by application of 2 ppm FeEDDHA-Fe. FeEDDHA had major effects on distribution of Mn, Zn, Fe and P among selected plant parts. Application of the chelate reduced Mn concentration in older leaves, the tissue most susceptible to Mn toxicity, associated stem tissue, plant tops, and roots from 2295 to 133 ppm, 62 to 7 ppm, 550 to 34 ppm, and 42 to 34 ppm, respectively. Analysis of older leaves is recommended for diagnosing Mn toxicity in flax.FeEDDHA reduced Zn concentration in plant tops and this was chiefly reflected in greatly reduced leaf concentrations, especially in older leaves. FeEDDHA increased plant Fe concentration and the effect was greatest in root and older leaf tissues. The overall effect of FeEDDHA on P concentration was small but large increases occurred in younger leaf tissue due to application of the chelate. Relative distributions of K, Na, Ca, and Mg among plant parts were only slightly affected by FeEDDHA. |
