Abstract
Excess use of chemical
fertilization has unbalanced the mineral nutrition in most of the agricultural
lands in and is not directly based on plant requirements. The application of
foliar application is reported to be the best method to avoid this unbalanced
use of different fertilizers among that soil. Manganese is an essential
micronutrient for plant growth and also to enhance the yield of different
crops. To study this, an experiment with the use of Manganese sulphate as
foliar application on Wheat plants to avoid excess use of chemicals fertilizers
and their antioxidative responses was performed and the wheat plants were
raised in degraded soil collected from degraded lands near alluvial plain of
Gomti river, Lucknow. The whole experiment was performed in control
environmental conditions in glass house. For the experiment, Wheat (Triticum
aestivum L. Variety: HD-2967) was taken, and was grown in pots filled with
degraded soil. Manganese functions as activator of more than 35 enzymes in
different types of crops and it also influences the yield and plant growth by
various physiological and biochemical activities. The enzymatic activity of
Wheat plants is also depending on the concentration of Manganese sulphate, and
it also affects plant growth, yield, and plant biomass. The use of manganese
sulphate as a foliar application can influence the different enzymatic activities
such as catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase and it also influences
the pigment concentration in the Wheat plants. The plant growth and height are
also regulated by Manganese sulphate concentration used as a foliar application
on plants. The different concentration of Manganese sulphate as a foliar
application on Wheat plants was used as-- 00.0 µM, 10.0 µM, 50.0 µM, and 100.0
µM. The optimum result was found at 10.0 µM of Manganese sulphate foliar
application, whereas at 100.0 µM of Manganese sulphate foliar supply plant
growth was reduced. The enzymatic activity in Wheat plants was found to be
optimum at 10.0 µM of Manganese sulphate foliar supply and lowest activities
was recorded at 00.0 µM of Manganese sulphate foliar application.
