Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Cauliflower produced very poor yields without both Mo and lime.
- Observation Alfalfa failed without added lime.
- Intervention effect Mo increased alfalfa yield on Culloden and O’Leary soils at pH 5.5 or higher.
- Intervention effect Mo gave no alfalfa yield response on Acadia soil.
- Observation Bromegrass responded markedly to lime and only slightly to Mo.
- Intervention effect Lime without Mo did not increase cauliflower yield up to pH 6.5.
- Observation Lime levels did not change exchangeable soil Mo.
- Observation Mo or lime increased molybdenum content in all crop tissues.
- Observation Lime raised tissue Mo substantially in cauliflower and alfalfa, less in bromegrass.
- Observation Combined Mo and lime gave higher tissue Mo than either alone.
- Observation Liming to pH 6.5 without Mo did not increase crop Mo content over 1.5 ppm.
- Observation Without Mo, young cauliflower leaves showed cupping and edge drying, later often with interveinal yellowing.
