this interaction can result in impacts on the yield of corn plants. This study
was conducted to examine the effect of different levels of Mn and Zn on the
yield, Mn and Zn concentration, root growth parameters and chlorophyll contents
of corn plants. Sweet corn was grown in nutrient culture containing all combinations
of Zn and Mn at levels of 0.0, 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 mg L-1 as ZnSO4.7H2O
and MnSO4.H2O, respectively and harvested at 28 days after
transplanting. Mn and Zn concentrations in roots and shoots increased with increasing
Mn and Zn concentration in nutrient solution. Zn concentration in both roots
and shoots enhanced with increasing Mn levels. Mn concentration in shoots did
not show any correlation with Zn concentration in nutrient solution, but Mn
concentration in roots decreased with increasing levels of Zn. Zn0Mn1
treatment produced the highest yield. The lowest dry weight of young corn plants
was recorded under Zn10Mn0 treatment due to Mn deficiency.
Chlorophyll content decreased with high Zn application and this can be attributed
to the interaction of Zn with iron in the growth medium. Different levels of
Zn and Mn in nutrient solution did not have any significant effect on root parameters.]]>Adiloglu, S.,20065504507Arnon, D.I.,1949Beta vulgaris.]]>24115Barben, S.A., B.G. Hopkins, V.D. Jolley, B.L.
