Molybdenum deficiency vs. healthy plant made worse by

  • Acid soils
  • Low pH
  • Low levels of soil organic matter

Molybdenum is important for

  • Better crop establishment and reduced plant losses over winter
  • Increases nutrient levels in the crop for better spring regrowth
  • Improved flowering and more even maturity
  • Boosts grain yield and oil content of seed
