Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Molybdenum at 300 g hm−2yr−1 significantly raised alfalfa dry yield in 2014.
- Observation Alfalfa crude protein content declined from 2012 to 2014 without molybdenum application.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum significantly enhanced total crude protein in alfalfa in 2014.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum delayed the decline in alfalfa total crude protein over three years.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum had no significant effect on alfalfa neutral detergent fiber content.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum had no significant effect on alfalfa acid detergent fiber content.
- Intervention effect Molybdenum increased nitrate reductase activity in alfalfa.
- Mechanism The authors suggest nitrate reductase activity may explain the increased crude protein content.
- Recommendation The authors recommend molybdenum fertilizer to improve alfalfa production and quality in semi-arid northern China.
