Molybdenum Pastures Background and Diagnosis
Molybdenum (Mo) is an important micronutrient for nitrogen (N) metabolism in plants. It helps create proteins in plant leaf cells and is required for N fixation in legumes.
Molybdenum pastures farm field testing
Several methods of testing pasture for a Molybdenum (Mo) response are described
Identification of Molybdenum Deficiency Legumes Using Test Strips
Test strips can be used to identify Molybdenum (Mo) deficiency in pastures.
Protocol for using pasture test strips to identify a lack of molybdenum for clover growth
The main method of detecting a lack of Molybdenum (Mo) is to take pasture samples from several paddocks and send them to a laboratory for the clovers to be analysed for Mo and nitrogen (N) content. However, pasture test strips can be used effectively to identify Mo deficiency in pastures
