Manganese Deficiency in Crops  How to Identify

Spray Krishikranti Mn EDTA 12% immediately on seeing these symptoms:

• New leaves yellowing between the veins  interveinal chlorosis on young tissue; veins remain green while leaf tissue turns pale yellow
• Grey oval spots on young wheat leaves  classic grey speck symptom; leaves eventually bend or kink at the spot location
• Pale olive-green or drab green appearance  crop loses its deep healthy green colour even before clear yellowing is visible
• Reduced pollen viability and poor fruit set  manganese is essential for pollen germination and pollen tube growth in flowers
• Stunted root development  manganese deficiency reduces root cell elongation and weakens root resistance to soil pathogens
• Poor photosynthesis even without visible symptoms  Photosystem II requires manganese; deficiency cuts photosynthetic output before leaves turn yellow
• Weak disease resistance  Mn-deficient crops show higher susceptibility to root rot, Pythium, and foliar fungal diseases

Dose and Application Rate  Manganese Mn EDTA 12%

How to Use Krishikranti Mn EDTA 12%

For Foliar Spray:

• Dissolve 0.5–1 g of Mn EDTA 12% in 1 litre of clean water. Stir until fully dissolved  no undissolved particles remain.
• Spray in early morning (before 9 AM) or late evening (after 5 PM)  avoid spraying in strong midday heat to prevent rapid evaporation and reduced absorption.
• Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces  stomata on the underside improve nutrient absorption speed.
• For wheat showing grey speck: spray at the 2–4 leaf stage and repeat at tillering if needed.
• Do not spray before expected rainfall  product washes off before absorption is complete.
• Visible improvement in leaf colour is typically observed within 7–14 days of first foliar spray.

For Drip Irrigation / Fertigation:

• Dissolve 300–500 g per acre fully in a small quantity of water before adding to the main fertigation tank.
• Inject through the fertigation unit during the regular irrigation cycle — do not mix directly into the drip header tank undissolved.
• Flush drip lines with plain water for 10–15 minutes after Mn EDTA application to prevent any residue in emitters.
• Apply at vegetative stage for prevention. Apply immediately on first deficiency symptoms for correction.

Mode of Action : How Chelated Manganese Works

• EDTA ring protects manganese from oxidation: In alkaline and wet soils, manganese gets oxidised to MnO₂  an insoluble form plant roots cannot absorb. EDTA chelation prevents this oxidation and keeps manganese soluble and plant-available.
• Photosystem II activation: Manganese has an absolute requirement in the water-splitting mechanism of Photosystem II. Without adequate Mn, photosynthesis drops — even before visible leaf symptoms appear. Correcting Mn deficiency directly restores photosynthetic output.
• Enzyme activation across 35+ plant enzymes: Manganese is a cofactor for enzymes involved in respiration, nitrogen assimilation, carbohydrate metabolism, and protein synthesis. Correction improves all these metabolic pathways simultaneously.
• Pollen viability and fruit set: Manganese is essential for pollen germination and pollen tube growth. Mn deficiency directly reduces flower-to-fruit conversion in all fruiting crops.
• Root pathogen resistance: Adequate manganese strengthens plant cell walls and activates defence enzymes. Mn-deficient crops show measurably higher susceptibility to Pythium, root rot, and soil-borne fungal diseases.
• Works through leaves and roots simultaneously: Foliar spray delivers Mn directly through stomata. Drip/soil application delivers Mn via roots without oxidation losses in the soil profile.

Key Benefits of Krishikranti Mn EDTA 12%

• Corrects manganese deficiency fast : visible improvement within 7–14 days of foliar spray
• Treats grey speck in wheat : the only reliable correction for this specific Mn deficiency symptom
• Works in alkaline, organic, and sandy soils where Manganese Sulphate fails
• 100% water soluble : no residue, no clogging in drip systems or sprayers
• Restores Photosystem II function : directly improves photosynthesis and dry matter accumulation
• Boosts pollen viability and fruit set in all flowering crops
• Strengthens root disease resistance : fewer incidences of root rot in Mn-sufficient crops
• Safe for foliar application : no leaf burn at recommended dose
• Compatible with most water-soluble fertilizers and pesticides
• FCO 1985 compliant : meets Indian regulatory quality standards
