Abstract
IT has been recognized in the literature that an excess of either manganese, zinc, copper, cobalt or nickel will induce iron-deficiency chlorosis in plants. Other toxic effects such as stunting and lower leaf necrosis may also occur. These effects have been confirmed in water-culture experiments with flax, conducted at the Plant Research Laboratory, Department of Agriculture, Burnley, Victoria.
