Abstract: The study was carried out in screen house of Department of Soil Science, CCS HAU, Hisar. The soil selected for study was sand textured soil. 12 prominent varieties of bread wheat and 6 durum wheat varieties were chosen for study. The order of preponderance of fractions of Mn in soil is as Residual > Fe MnOx bound > Carbonate bound > Exchangeable > Organic matter bound Mn. Application of Mn fertilizer lead to increased grain and straw yield. Protein content was also higher in fertilized plant grain as compared to control. Bread wheat varieties were found tolerant, semi-tolerant and sensitive to Mn stress, whereas none of the durum wheat cultivars was resistant to Mn stress.
