Of all the essential macro and micronutrients in any plant, and especially in maize, molybdenum (Mo) is the least needed by the plant, although its role in nitrogen assimilation 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. Molybdenum is better absorbed by the plant if the soil pH is greater than 6.3, and if the pH is lower than 6.3, molybdenum becomes less absorbable.

Molybdenum participates in the process of converting nitrate (NO 3 -) to nitrite (NO 2 -) (the first step in the synthesis of amino acids and proteins). Therefore, if we want to increase the process of nitrogen assimilation and utilization in the plant, molybdenum is an appropriate element for this.

Since molybdenum deficiency causes nitrogen malabsorption, the symptoms of its deficiency are similar to those of nitrogen deficiency.

Keep in mind that an average crop of up to 16 tons taken from 1 hectare takes 800-900 grams of molybdenum from the soil, therefore, in order to get a high-quality and abundant harvest, it is necessary to use a fertilizer containing molybdenum during the growing season.
