| Abstract
|
:
|
Molybdenum (Mo) deficiencies in field-grown plants were first recorded in Australia more than 55 years ago, and this book condenses all the information currently available on the subject of Mo as it relates to soils, crops, and livestock. The book reviews our knowledge of the chemistry and mineralogy of Mo, the extraction of available Mo from various soils, the various analytical methods of determining Mo content in soils and plants, the biochemical role of Mo in crop production, the technology and application of Mo fertilizers to crops, the responses to Mo of various temperate and tropical crops, Mo deficiency and toxicity in various plant species, the interaction of Mo with other plant nutrients, and the distribution of Mo within the plant. Factors affecting the availability of soil Mo to plants and Mo status in the semiarid and subhumid tropics are also discussed. The book will be a valuable reference tool to assist agricultural researchers, professors, and extension personnel.
