Of all the essential micro- and macronutrients in plants, and especially corn, molybdenum (Mo) is the least needed by plants, although its role in nitrogen uptake is very large.
Molybdenum is essential for the synthesis of two important enzymes involved in the conversion of nitrogen from the nitrate form to the nitrite form. It is better absorbed by the plant if the pH of the soil is greater than 6.3, and if the pH is less than 6, molybdenum becomes less absorbable.
Molybdenum participates in the conversion of nitrate (NO 3 -) to nitrite (NO 2-) in the process of transformation (the first step in the synthesis of amino acids and proteins). Therefore, if we want to increase the process of nitrogen assimilation and use in the plant, molybdenum is an appropriate element for this.
In legume root nodules, Rhizobium bacteria require molybdenum to fix atmospheric or molecular nitrogen (N 2 ). The plant also uses it to convert inorganic phosphorus into organic form. Since molybdenum deficiency leads to nitrogen assimilation, the symptoms of its deficiency are manifested as nitrogen deficiency symptoms. The fertilizer is recommended especially for crops sensitive to molybdenum deficiency.
