For the purpose of a field diagnosis of Mn toxicity, we showed the possibility of using visible foliar symptoms of Japanese white birch (Betula platyphylla var. japonica Hara) as indicator. To examine the relationship between the expression of visible symptoms and leaf Mn concentrations, white birch seedlings were grown under four different Mn levels: 1 mg Mn l-1 as control, 10, 50 and 100 mg Mn l-1. Foliar symptoms of Mn toxicity for white birch were: (1) chlorosis at entire young leaves in… CONTINUE READING
