Soil steaming increased fresh and dry weights and N and Mn contents of the plants. Leaching the steamed soil caused a further increase in Mn content but decreased yields and N content. The addition of straw to the steamed soil did not affect growth or N content but it reduced the Mn content. Plants grown on steamed soil had darker coloured leaves and a greater incidence of leaf margin necrosis and bad heading than plants grown on unsteamed soil. See also Sous Fertil. 33 [1230].
