The symptoms of molybdenum (Mo) deficiency are common in certain crops under certain soil and climatic conditions. However, Mo toxicity is uncommon and is found only when unusually high concentrations of Mo are present. Deficiency symptoms for most micronutrients appear on the young leaves at the top of the plant, because most …Web
Molybdenum
Molybdenum, a trace element essential for micro-organisms, plants, and animals, was discovered in 1778 by a Swedish chemist named Karl Scheele. Initially mistaken for lead, molybdenum was named after the Greek work molybdos, meaning lead-like. In the 1930s, it was recognized that ingestion of forage with high amounts of molybdenum by cattle …Web
Molybdenum: More than an essential element
Introduction. Molybdenum (Mo) is a transition element present in relatively small amounts in the environment, with 2.4 mg kg−1 in the lithosphere and 0.2–36 mg kg−1 in soils (Broadley et al., 2012).Despite its low abundance in the environment, it is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms except for certain strains of …Web
