MICRONUTRIENTS IN SOYBEANS: MANGANESE - By Nathan Mueller

Welcome to part seven of the column series on soybean micronutrients. The last couple of weeks I discussed boron, chloride, cobalt, copper, and iron. I will quickly cover how manganese (Mn) is essential to soybeans, known deficiencies and toxicities in the region, factors of manganese availability in soil, soil and plant tissue testing, and fertilizer recommendations. Micronutrients for Soybean Production in the North Central Region is a good regional publication that addresses manganese that I utilized as a resource for this news column.

Supporting and Reassuring Children Around the World During COVID-19

This short book was written to support and reassure our children, under the age of 7, regarding the COVID-19. This book is an invitation for families to discuss the full range of emotions arising from the current situation. It is important to point out that this resource does not seek to be a source of scientific information, but rather a tool based on fantasy. My recommendation is to print this material so children can draw on it. Remember that emotions are processed through repetitive play and stories read multiple times. Share COVIBOOK and help ease kiddo's anxiety all over the world. The book was written by Manuela Molina.
