ROLE OF MOLYBDENUM

• Transforms nitrogen into amino acids
• Allows legumes to symbiotically fix atmospheric Nitrogen
• Catalyst in oxidation-reduction process

MOLYBDENUM SOIL AVAILABILITY

• 0.11 – 0.20 in soil is medium amount
• Availability increases with pH increases

MOLYBDENUM IN THE LEAF

Sufficiency tissue test ranges in ppm
