Manganese is one of a micronutrient. It's important in photosynthesis process. It's also important in structure.
00:12
It is important in the formation malignant, which is basically self structure. So plant structure, everything supports stiffness,
00:20
is very important with manganese. Here's the reason that we use manganese. So in our soil type, we're generally cooler.
00:28
We're generally wetter. We add manganese with the mn, not magnesium mg. We use that because it helps with photosynthesis, right?
00:39
When it's cool and wet and expecting to rain, those kind of things. I'll add a little bit more manganese to my in furrow system.
00:47
And the reason that I do that is because I'm trying to get a little bit of a jumpstart, gonna try to power pack that plant.
00:53
It just helps it photosynthesize better than if it had a deficiency, right? So it'll get it over that curve, over that hump.
01:03
If you're deficient manese, you might get a droopy plant or a little less structural strength.
01:08
So that's what guys probably that are deficient or looking for is that boosting overall strength of their cell walls and plant structure.
01:18
Everybody knows about glyphosate and how you get that yellow flash in glyphosate. 90% of the time that yellow flash in glyphosate is
01:27
because glyphosate will tie up manganese in the plant, and that's where the yellow flash is coming from. So a couple of things that we do,
01:36
so we can alleviate the yellow flash, one boy at a PGR, like, uh, you know, a certain type PGR. The reason that boy that is, is it helps
01:47
with a yellow flash, but we'll also add a point of manganese one we're spraying or herbicide program with glyphosate.
01:54
That way we don't ever feel that effect. Um, and we don't ever lose days of sunlight. Days of sunlight lost are, that is yield
02:04
and I don't ever want a hole in my leaf. I don't ever want my leaf to not be a bright, beautiful solar panel
02:12
because without those, you can't make up days of sunlight and photosynthesis.
02:18
You can't make them back up once you've lost them. It's too late.
