∙ 10y agoBecause manganese plays a role in a variety of enzyme systems, manganese deficiency can affect many physiological processes, and can cause nausea, vomiting, high blood sugar, skin rash, loss of hair color, excessive bone loss, low cholesterol levels, dizziness, hearing loss, and a poorly functioning reproductive system. Severe manganese deficiency in infants can cause paralysis, convulsions, blindness, and deafness, and may lead to impaired growth, skeletal abnormalities, and defects in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. In addition, manganese deficiency may lead to ataxia, a movement disorder characterized by lack of muscle coordination and balance caused by poor development of the otoliths, the structures in the inner ear that are responsible for equilibrium. However, manganese deficiency is very rare in humans, and does not usually develop unless manganese is deliberately eliminated from the diet. In addition, magnesium may substitute for manganese in certain enzyme systems if manganese is deficient, thereby allowing your body to function normally despite the deficiency.

∙ 10y agoPoor dietary intake of manganese is probably the most common cause of manganese deficiency. However, other factors can contribute to a need for more manganese. Like zinc, manganese is a mineral that you can excreted in significant amounts through sweat, and people who go through periods of excessive sweating may be at increased risk for manganese deficiency. In order to transport manganese, your liver needs to properly form bile, and you must have proper circulation of bile, so people with chronic liver or gallbladder disorders may need more manganese in their diets.

How does acid affect bean plant growth?
Bean plants doesn't grow well when the soil is too acidic. That is, because of aluminum toxicity or manganese toxicity. Aluminum is not an essential element for plants but too much can harm plants. Too much aluminum reduces the growth of the root. Manganese toxicity is when the plant takes up too much manganese in plants, which limits the uptake of other important, essential minerals the plant needs. It affects the metabolic processes and leads to sterility. A few signs are chlorosis of younger leaves and brown or yellow spots on the leaf. Also, to mention, soil with a pH lower than 5.8 has a greater chance of having diseases.
