Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate

General Properties and Industrial Significance:

Manganese sulfate monohydrate (chemical formula: MnSO₄·H₂O) is a pinkish or pale red crystalline compound that provides manganese (Mn)—an essential micronutrient for plants and animals.
It’s valued for its high solubility, bioavailability, and relatively low cost as a manganese source.
 

Applications:

• Agriculture:

1. Used as a micronutrient fertilizer to correct manganese deficiency in crops, especially in soils with high pH or organic matter.

2. Supports photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and enzyme activation.

3. Applied via soil application, foliar sprays, or included in fertilizer blends.

• Animal Nutrition:

1. Added to feed premixes as a source of manganese, important for bone formation, reproduction, and enzyme function in livestock and poultry.

• Industrial Uses:

1. Used in the manufacture of ceramics, paints, and other manganese compounds.

2. Plays a role in electroplating and dry-cell battery production.
