Varietal differences in responses to manganese and zinc locations
Aims

To examine the ability of genotypes of wheat and barley to produce high yields on micronutrient deficient soils.

Key messages

In very general terms, the relative sensitivity to Mn deficiency (from least sensitive to most sensitive) is bread wheat, barley, durum wheat , while the relative sensitivity to Zn deficiency (from least sensitive to most sensitive) is barley, bread wheat, durum wheat. However, there is considerable overlap between the three species in terms of their sensitivity.
