Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect Soaking tomato seeds in 5000 and 50,000 p.p.m. molybdenum solutions for 8 hr met the molybdenum requirement of tomatoes.
- Intervention effect Soaking lettuce seeds in sodium molybdate solution did not give satisfactory results compared with untreated seed in complete solution.
- Observation The ability of soaked seeds to retain molybdenum against outward diffusion during germination is important for lettuce and tomato.
