Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation A diagnostic trial found molybdenum limited chickpea growth and yield.
- Intervention effect Soil-applied molybdenum at 500 g ha –1 improved chickpea nodulation.
- Intervention effect Soil-applied molybdenum improved chickpea growth.
- Intervention effect Soil-applied molybdenum produced grain yield responses of 58%–173%.
- Intervention effect Operational molybdenum plus Rhizobium priming gave mean responses up to 50% versus water priming.
- Recommendation The authors recommend molybdenum and Rhizobium priming to alleviate severe chickpea nitrogen deficiency.
