Molybdenum
- Molybdenum is an element that can boost yields by hundreds of kilograms when applied as a few grams of nutrient.
- It affects nitrogen metabolism through the assimilation of nitrates, protein synthesis, and the improved assimilation of airborne N in legumes – nitrogenase.
- This element is most commonly deficient in high-pH soil.
- Plants respond very well to foliar feeding with molybdenum.
The crops most sensitive to Mo deficiency are:
- vegetables,
- legumes,
- sugar beet,
- oilseeds,
- clover.
Less sensitive are:
- fruit trees,
- corn,
- grass.
