The nitrogen source applied to crops may alter some soil properties such as pH, resulting in changes in the soil nutrient availability and plant nutrient uptake. Manganese (Mn), which can influence the plant susceptibility to diseases, may even affect host-pathogen relationships. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of soil application of two N sources and five Mn doses on the severity of the wheat spot blotch disease. Additionally, shoot and root dry matter production, plant Mn […]
