Cabbage - Deformation

Symptoms
Mo deficient plants show a faint yellowgreen chlorosis. Leaves of young plants are relatively small and bent down. Their edges are more serrated than usual.

Reasons
Molybdenum deficiency (right) Mo deficiency problems are most common on acidic or sandy soils with low organic matters. As the nutrient is moderately translocated, its deficiency symptoms can appear across the whole plant and may easily be confused with other nutrient problems. Tissue analysis is recommended.

Cabbage - Deformation

Symptoms
Mo deficient plants show a faint yellowgreen chlorosis. Leaves of mature plants are relatively large, rather elongated and bent down. Plant habitus is loose, headforming inhibited.

Molybdenum deficiency vs. healthy plant made worse by

  • Acid soils
  • Low pH
  • Low levels of soil organic matter

Molybdenum is important for

  • Increased yields (especially with broccoli and cauliflower), inner quality (sugar and vitamin C content) and shelf life
