Role of Molybdenum in Tomato Production
Molybdenum is an important component of nitrate reductase and thus involved in nitrogen metabolism as well as the synthesis of pigments and chlorophyll.
General guidelines for molybdenum application
In comparison with other micronutrients molybdenum is only needed in very small quantities. Deficiency is more common in acidic rather than alkaline soils.
