Summary

Molybdenum applied alone and in combination with sulphur was found to be readily available toBrassica juncea plants grown on loam soil moderate in available Mo (0.122 ppm) Molybdenum accumulated several times more in the vegetative portion as compared to the grain. Recovery of the applied molybdenum decreased with increase in dose of applied molybdenum.

Application of 50 ppm S depressed the molybdenum content in plants to one third, when compared to its concentration in the absence of sulphur. The effect of sulphur in depressing the molybdenum concentration in plants was more conspicuous where molybdenum was applied alongwith sulphur.
