Abstract
The study of the role of trace elements in the metabolism of plants is important. Whether they take part directly in the metabolic function of plants or simply act as catalysts is still not definitely known, although it has been definitely established that they are required in minute quantities by plants; and if unavailable, plants develop characteristic deficiency symptoms. Manganese is one such element, which when either entirely lacking or available in quantities less than a certain minimum develops deficiency symptoms in plants and certain diseases. The development of deficiency symptoms also affects growth and mineral metabolism of plants.
