Sodium molybdate, provides plants with a readily available supply of molybdenum. It is particularly important for nitrogen fixation by leguminous plants such as clover, lucerne, peas and beans.
Sodium molybdate is a readily soluble source of molybdenum essential for optimum legume growth and important for the rhizobia in clover nodules to assist in nitrogen fixation and for the plants to use nitrogen. Moly can correct and prevent deficiency in pastures, cucurbits, legumes and brassicas.
In animals, molybdenum is important for some enzyme activity and for iron storage in tissues.
Only small quantities of this product are required (72-125 g/Ha) so it is generally blended with other fertilisers and/or minerals before application.
Available sources for blends – Sodium molybdate, Na2MoO4, is useful as a source of molybdenum. It is often found as the Sodium Molybdate Dihydrate , Na2MoO4·2H2O
