- Intervention effect Soaking tomato seeds in 5000 and 50,000 p.p.m. molybdenum solutions for 8 hr met the molybdenum requirement of tomatoes.
- 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.
