  • Manganese Deficency

    It looks like my Calabrese is showing signs of manganese deficency, can anyone advice what to use to cure this, I'm a newbie to GYO so don't have a clue what to use to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Make up some Epsom Salts & spray the foliage with it

            I thought Epsom salts was for magnesium deficiency? Or does it help with both?

              Give them a feed with seaweed solution. That contains nearly all the minerals most plants need. So if you are mistaken and it's a different deficiency, you've got it covered anyway.

              Endless wonder.

                I agree with Mothhawk And I also think BB has his manganese and magnesium mixes up somewhat .

                A wee bit about Manganese deficiency here Manganese deficiency (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Note there is no mention of brassicas being prone.

                  Manganese deficiency tends to occur in alkaline soil, so you might want to measure soil pH. One of the cures is adding compost and manure, so I'd say build a composting toilet, as that is good for everything.
