Extract

A comparison is made, under similar cultural conditions in pot experiments, of the behaviour of a number of varieties of wheat, barley, rye and oats on two soils on which oats had previously displayed pronounced symptoms of manganese deficiency.

All of these cereals were found to develop disease symptoms on these soils, rapid recovery from which invariably took place after the plants had been sprayed with 1% manganese sulphate solution. Variations in deficiency symptoms in the different cereals are indicated and observations on the course of the disease throughout the season are recorded for some thirty-two varieties.
