Natalie, It's best to provide at least a sample of your data. Your field names suggest that your data might be collected in units of mm^2 or some similar measurement of area. Why do you want to use Mann-Whitney, which will rank your data and then use those ranks rather than your actual data? Unless your sample is quite small, why not use a two sample t-test? Also,are your samples paired? If they aren't, did you use the "paired = FALSE" option?
