Manganese Sulphate

NPKSMgCaOther
0.00.00.011.90.00 32% Manganese as manganese sulphate monohydrate

Physical Description:

There are two grades of this product, Manganese Sulphate and Manganese Sulphate Soluble (for dissolving in water for foliar applications).  This product is a light pink/white powder.

Uses:

Manganese, supplied as manganese sulphate, is used to alleviate Mn deficiencies which are most common in Northland & on the West Coast of the South Island & in peat soils.

Manganese sulphate is also applied to soils or as a foliar application for cereal production where a history of Mn deficiency exists.  If applied as a foliar, ensure Manganese Sulphate Soluble is requested.

This trace element is approved by Bio-Gro and Certenz for restricted use, thus written permission is required before use.

Benefits:

Manganese sulphate is readily soluble thus will provide manganese to the crop immediately.

Application:

Typical soil application rates for manganese sulphate are 15kg/ha, however in some highly deficient situations rates of up to 25kg/ha may be required. Can be added to most fertilisers. 

For foliar applications to cereal crops, apply Manganese Sulphate Soluble at 8-10 kg/ha, dissolved in 200 litres of water.  Include a wetting agent (Agriwett 77) for improved spread on foliage.  For crops with visual Mn deficiencies, it is advisable to apply 2 applications, 3 weeks apart.

Storage & Handling:

Store in a dry place.
