In a greenhouse experiment using a Houghton muck soi fertilization with Mn, either with or without liming, increased the efficiency of water utilization by both pea beans ( Phaseolus vulgarus ) and corn ( Zea mays ). Where the deficiency was mild (14% increase in dry weight due to use of Mn), the larger Mn treated pea bean plants used less total water in 35 days than did smaller untreated plants.
