Agricultural Fertilizers
Molybdenum is one of the essential "trace elements" in plants, accounting for about 0.5ppm of plant dry matter, which is indispensable and irreplaceable. In recent years, ammonium molybdate has been widely used as trace element fertilizer at home and abroad, which can significantly improve the quality and yield of legumes, forages and other crops. This is mainly because molybdenum can promote the fixation of nitrogen in the air by rhizobia and other nitrogen fixing organisms, and further transform nitrogen into protein needed by plants. Molybdenum can also promote the absorption of phosphorus and play its role in plants. Molybdenum can also accelerate the formation and transformation of carbohydrates in plants, improve the content and stability of chlorophyll, and increase the content of vitamin C. Moreover, molybdenum can improve the drought resistance, cold resistance and disease resistance of plants.
The application of molybdenum fertilizer is characterized by small amount, high yield and low cost. It is an important measure to improve the agricultural harvest, especially the soybean harvest. The wide application of molybdenum in agriculture also opens up a new way for the comprehensive utilization of waste water, waste residue and low-grade ore in molybdenum production plants in China.
