MANGANESE SULPHATE MONOHYDRATE

Manganese Sulphate Monohydrate is a versatile chemical compound with broad applications across agriculture, industry, and animal health. Its role as a source of manganese—a vital micronutrient—makes it essential for various sectors:

1. Agriculture (Fertilizers)
   • Used as a micronutrient in fertilizers to address manganese deficiency in crops.
   • Enhances photosynthesis and enzyme activation, improving plant growth and yield.
   • Commonly applied in soil and foliar sprays for crops like wheat, barley, citrus, and legumes.
2. Animal Feed Supplements
   • Acts as a dietary supplement in animal feed to prevent manganese deficiency in livestock.
   • Aids in bone development, reproduction, and metabolic functions in poultry, cattle, and other animals.
3. Industrial Applications
   • Used in the production of manganese-based chemicals like manganese dioxide for batteries.
   • Acts as a precursor in the manufacturing of catalysts, pigments, and ceramics.
   • Essential in water treatment processes to remove impurities.
4. Pharmaceuticals
   • Utilized in formulations where manganese plays a therapeutic role.
5. Textile Industry
   • Used as a dye fixative and mordant in textile processing.
