Information Booster:
Application of molybdenum fertilizers like ammonium molybdate can correct the deficiency.
Symptoms include chlorosis of young leaves and the production of thin, irregular leaf structures.
Proper soil pH management (liming acidic soils) helps prevent molybdenum deficiency.
Additional Information:
Copper: Deficiency leads to dieback and leaf tip wilting.
Iron: Deficiency causes interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between veins), especially in younger leaves.
Calcium: Deficiency causes disorders like tip burn in cabbage and cauliflower.
