Summary
Addition of CaCO3 to the soils has been found to increase the retention of manganese applied to soils. As the black soil contained enough of CaCO3 initially the addition of CaCO3 even upto 16% is not effective. But in red soil the effect in marked.
It has also been observed that addition of CaCO3, at the rate of 1 to 8 per cent to H-soils, resulted in an increased retention of manganese.
The E and r forms decrease and increase respectively with an increase in the addition of CaCO3 addition to both original and H-soils.
Addition of soluble carbonates has also been found to effect the retention of manganese.
The availability of manganese added to soils in the soluble form has been found to be adversely affected by the addition of both soluble and in soluble carbonates to black, red, and alkali soils.
