Overcoming Mn-induced chlorosis in sugarcane seedlings by iron
Our findings demonstrate that rainwater-borne Fe is a key driver of seasonal recovery from Mn-induced chlorosis in sugarcane. Foliar Fe supplementation emerges as a cost-effective, scalable strategy for mitigating Mn toxicity, offering significant advantages over resource-intensive soil amendments for sustainable sugarcane production on acidic soils.
