A comparison of the responses by six grasses, rape and subterranean clover to application of molybdenum

Abstract

Phalaris tuberosa and wheat (Triticum sativum) responded to application of molybdenum in a series of pot experiments with a soil known to support subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) without additional molybdenum in the field. No response to molybdenum was recorded with oats (Avena sativa), barley (Hordeum vulgare), rye grass (Lolium perenne), kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum), rape (Brassica rapus) or subterranean clover.
