Molybdenum could help with nitrogen assimilation? Who started the idea that its not important and are they credible? Probably one of the things we are supposed to take verbatum, and not allowed to question.

One of the most important parts of the year!

Thanks for sharing!

Concerning Molybdenum, it says "Low priority on this crop. Other crops may be affected." I hope my first soil test in 15 years on my new patch looks this good! It'll be next year. Since the Patons know what they are doing, THEN I will not question it, butt I see an easy report here. Nothing needed butt occasionally-heavier watering. Good Luck! eg

We're all looking for ways to improve, I added molybdenum to my beans they really improved and threw some microscopic amounts on my pumpkin patch too. From what Ive read, adding moly would be a low risk & low cost experiment, because there's less risk of overdoing it than with say, boron. I think it helped.

The Patons can question the ancient wisdom and set a new trend if they wish. Its important for Poinsettas so they've probably already got some on their shelf.

Well, there I go again being a hotdog at a burger restaurant.

I’m seriously impressed that you know molybdenum is important in poinsettias and yes we have some.

So, better to apply, just in case... Yay, LK; Numbers I understand, butt others' experienced interpretations are what are vital. BTW, what ARE Patons' Poinsettias, Shade Trees???
Ha Ha HA Have a good day---eg

We should and perhaps we will. My good friend Joe Alits did suggest we put it on.
