Sixty years ago at the Waite Agricultural Research Institute, G.
Samuel, a plant pathologist, and C. S. Piper, a chemist, published
their conclusion that the cause of roadside take-all, a disease of
oats, was manganese deficiency. This report, together with the
concurrent and independent studies of W. M. Carne in Western
Australia were the first records of manganese deficiency in
Australia and came only six years after McHargue's paper which is
generally accepted as the final proof of the essentiality of this
element. There must have been a few doubts for some people at the
time, however, as the CAB publication, 'The Minor Elements of the
Soil' (1940) expressed the view that further evidence to this
effect was provided by Samuel and Piper. Their historic
contributions are recognised by the International Symposium on
Manganese in Soils and Plants as it meets on the site of their
early labours to celebrate the 60th anniversary. This year
Australians also acknowledge 200 years of European settlement in
this country and so the Symposium is both a Bicentennial and a
diamond jubilee event which recognises the impact of trace elements
on agricultural development in Australia. In a broader sense, a
symposium such as this celebrates, as it reviews, the efforts of
all who over the ages have contributed to our knowledge of
manganese in soils and plants.
