Water Consumpton by Phaseolus Vulgaris and Zea Mays as Influenced by Manganese Fertilization¹

ABSTRACT

In a greenhouse experiment using a Houghton muck soi fertilization with Mn, either with or without liming, increased the efficiency of water utilization by both pea beans (Phaseolus vulgarus) and corn (Zea mays). Where the deficiency was mild (14% increase in dry weight due to use of Mn), the larger Mn treated pea bean plants used less total water in 35 days than did smaller untreated plants.
