Product: Ammonium Molybdate Solution (10%)
Ammonium Molybdate: The Nitrogen Catalyst for Legumes
Ammonium molybdate solution provides molybdenum (Mo), a vital yet often underestimated micronutrient. Although plants require it in minuscule amounts, its role is monumental, particularly for legumes like soybeans, peas, and clover. Molybdenum is the essential catalyst for two critical enzymes:
Nitrogenase: This enzyme, found in the nitrogen-fixing bacteria within legume root nodules, is responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into a usable form of nitrogen for the plant. Without sufficient molybdenum, this process is severely hindered, leading to nitrogen starvation and poor growth.
Nitrate Reductase: In non-leguminous crops, molybdenum is also crucial for the enzyme that converts nitrate into ammonium, a key step in a plant’s nitrogen metabolism.
Why is our Ammonium Molybdate solution the right choice?
Boosts Nitrogen Fixation: By ensuring a readily available supply of molybdenum, our solution empowers nitrogen-fixing bacteria, leading to healthier, more productive legume crops and reducing the need for expensive nitrogen fertilizers.
Rapid Correction: As a highly soluble liquid, our ammonium molybdate is perfect for foliar application, providing a fast and visible correction to molybdenum deficiencies and improving plant health quickly.
Enhances Overall Vigor: A healthy molybdenum supply supports stronger root development, better nutrient uptake, and improved resistance to stress, leading to a more robust and resilient harvest.
Flexible Application: Our liquid formula can be easily applied as a foliar spray or as a seed treatment, making it a convenient and effective tool to maximize your crop’s potential right from the start.
Because of its role in nitrogen metabolism, this solution is used for:
Legumes: Such as soybeans, peas, and peanuts, to support nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules.
Brassicas/Cruciferous Vegetables: Such as cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage, which have a high demand for molybdenum.
Cereals and other vegetables: To correct deficiencies that can cause symptoms like “whiptail” in cauliflower.
