Other claims from this paper (3)
- 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.
- Observation Well-washed soaked seeds may lose much molybdenum during germination.
