Abstract
DURING investigations on the iron and manganese requirements of plants1, it was decided to determine whether tomato plants required a continuous supply of manganese throughout their growth or whether the element was more essential at one phase than at another. Investigations on similar lines have been reported by Gericke2 for wheat and by Brenchley3 for barley. These workers, however, were concerned with the major nutrient elements.
