Manganese is a vital micronutrient that plays a key role in plant health and development. Here's how it helps plants:

  • Activates enzymes involved in important metabolic processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen assimilation.

  • Supports chlorophyll production, helping maintain healthy green leaves and efficient energy conversion.

  • Strengthens plant structure by improving lignin biosynthesis, which enhances cell wall strength and disease resistance.

  • Aids in pollen formation and fertility, crucial for flowering and fruiting plants.

    Without sufficient manganese, plants may suffer from interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between the veins), reduced growth, and poor resistance to stress.
