Symptoms of Molybdenum Deficiency

Older leaves show interveinal yellowing (chlorosis).
Leaf margins may curl or develop necrotic spots.
Plant growth becomes stunted.
Flowering and fruiting are reduced.
Nitrogen utilisation is poor, even if soil nitrogen is sufficient.
Legumes show weak nodulation.
Brassicas may have crinkled or necrotic leaves.
Common in acidic or sandy soils with low organic matter.

This product is not to be used for any purpose or in any manner contrary to the label unless authorised under appropriate legislation.

What is the rate for Kendon Sodium Molybdate?

General rate: 50-100g/100L.
Seedlings: 40g/100L.
Hydroponics: 2.5ppm can be achieved by mixing 7g of Sodium Molybdate per 1000L of water.

How many sprays of Sodium Molybdate does a crop need?

One spray per crop is generally sufficient, except where deficiency is noted. Susceptible crops such as brassicas and cucurbits may require two sprays three weeks apart.

Can Sodium Molybdate be mixed with dry fertiliser?

Yes. The label states it may also be mixed with dry fertiliser.

Can molybdenum harm livestock? Is there a grazing restriction?

Molybdenum can be toxic when levels become too high. Excessive molybdenum can be harmful to stock. Do not apply fertiliser containing molybdenum on more than 25% of the farm annually. Do not graze for four weeks after application.

What are the symptoms of molybdenum deficiency?

Older leaves show interveinal yellowing (chlorosis).
Leaf margins may curl or develop necrotic spots.
Plant growth becomes stunted.
Flowering and fruiting are reduced.
Nitrogen utilisation is poor, even if soil nitrogen is sufficient.
Legumes show weak nodulation.
Brassicas may have crinkled or necrotic leaves.
Deficiency is common in acidic or sandy soils with low organic matter.

Why do plants need molybdenum?

Molybdenum supports nitrogen metabolism, including enzymes involved in nitrogen fixation and nitrate reduction. It is important for legumes and aids symbiotic nitrogen fixation. It helps chlorophyll synthesis and contributes to better flowering, fruiting and seed development.
