Question

Deficiency of molybdenum causes

• A. Poor development of vasculature
• B. Bending of leaf tip
• C. Mottling and necrosis of leaves
• D. Poor development of seeds

Answer 1

The correct option is C Mottling and necrosis of leaves

Molybdenum is an essential micronutrient for plants. Molybdenum deficiency may induce symptoms similar to those of nitrogen deficiency, as molybdenum is required for the assimilation of nitrate taken up by the plant. Molybdenum is required for nitrate reduction. Mottling and necrosis of leaves are the most important deficiency symptoms.
