Abstract: | Greenhouse studies of 14 soils, having a range in DTPA extractable Mn, were made to determine the critical deficiency level of Mn in ustochrepts for predicting response of green gram to Mn application. Soil Mn was significantly related with Bray's per cent dry matter yield (r = 0.68**). Soil application of 20 mg Mn kg–1 soil significantly increased the yield. Both graphical and statistical models of Cate and Nelson indicated the critical level to be 2.9 mg kg–1 soil of DTPA extractable Mn. The critical deficiency level in youngest matured terminal leaf (YML) of 40 day green gram plants was 19.0µg g–1. The predictability of soil and plant critical Mn level was 93 per cent. |
