Details

• Chlorophyll synthesis
• Catalyst in the conversion from nitrate to nitrite in the plant
• A constituent of certain enzymes, e.g. nitrogenise
• Protein metabolism
• Part of the enzyme for N2 fixing for rhizobiaceae

Molybdenum deficiency is shown mainly on younger leaves, but also by chlorosis in older leaves. The leaf-edges get necrosis fast and curl, the leaf laminas are reduced, partially only with growing leaf veins ("whiptail" symptoms) . In general you can notice a reduced growth with lightened leaves and a tendency to wither. In cauliflower you can observe the formation of deformed leaves (shape of hook).

• Soil with a low pH value
• Dryness
• Leaching in coarsely textured chalky soil

• Lebosol^®-Molybdenum
