Manganese sulfate is used primarily as a fertilizer and as livestock supplement where soils are deficient in manganese, then in some glazes, varnishes, ceramics, and fungicides.
Overview
Manganese sulfate is used primarily as a fertilizer and as livestock supplement where soils are deficient in manganese, then in some glazes, varnishes, ceramics, and fungicides.
Features
A hydrate is the monohydrate form of manganese(II) sulfate. Manganese(II) sulfate usually refers to the inorganic compound with the formula MnSO4·H2O.
