Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Sodium molybdate adversely affected lucerne rhizobial survival as storage lengthened.
- Intervention effect Sodium molybdate adversely affected clover rhizobial survival as storage lengthened.
- Intervention effect Molybdic acid did not adversely affect rhizobial survival.
- Intervention effect Ammonium molybdate did not adversely affect rhizobial survival.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum disulphide did not adversely affect rhizobial survival.
- Intervention effect Sodium molybdate treatments produced poorer seedling nodulation.
- Observation Both species appeared able to extract molybdenum from molybdenum disulphide.
- Intervention effect Otherwise, plant growth did not differ among treatments.
- Association The proportion of seedlings nodulated by inoculant strains was significantly related to nitrogen fixation.
- Recommendation Seed-applied molybdenum may benefit pasture establishment if sodium molybdate is avoided.
