manganese supplement<br />
Manganaze<br />
For the treatment of Managanese<br />
deficiency in turf<br />
WHY Manganaze<br />
❚ Contains the element Manganese (Mn)<br />
to improve photosynthesis capability<br />
❚ The element Manganese increases<br />
lignification of cell walls as a defence<br />
mechanism against disease<br />
❚ Iron Sulphate helps lower the pH and<br />
provides Iron nutrition<br />
❚ Contains plant sugars providing an<br />
energy source to Fluorescent<br />
Pseudomonads (beneficial antagonistic<br />
bacteria)<br />
How Manganaze works<br />
Manganese deficiency is common in poorly drained soils and<br />
also where organic levels are high, and Manganese can<br />
become unavailable to plants where pH levels are high.<br />
Manganaze has been specifically formulated as a nutrient<br />
supplement for newly established bent turf greens and situations<br />
where pH levels will restrict uptake of the element Manganese.<br />
To assist the turf plant’s ability against Take-all Patch<br />
(Gaeumannomyces graminis) which effects bent grasses, all<br />
areas should be sprayed as Take-all Patch can be active in the<br />
ground even when there are no visible patches of the disease.<br />
Manganaze has been shown to increase populations of<br />
beneficial bacteria which antagonise Take-all Patch.<br />
Make 4 applications of Manganaze at 4-6 week intervals. All<br />
greens should be sprayed. A full programme must be<br />
completed. For best results combine cultural and nutritional<br />
practices to minimize Take-all Patch.<br />
Typical early season Take-all Patch Symptoms<br />
The element Manganese is an important micronutrient required<br />
by all plants and is involved in various metabolic functions. It is<br />
the catalyst for Oxygen evolution in photosynthesis and is an<br />
activator co-factor in several major enzymes involved in<br />
metabolic pathways, including the TCA cycle, synthesis of RNA<br />
in chloroplasts and in lipid synthesis. Manganese also plays a<br />
role in lignin synthesis which can help to suppress both leaf and<br />
root diseases.<br />
