Manganese and molybdenum  for clover on  sand over red brown sandy clay  at Gairdner River locations
Aims

Manganese and Molybdenum required for clover ley grown on sand over brown sand loam  at Kalannie  

Key messages
  • Cu and Zn basal in 1957

  • Mo and Mn applied as cross strips in 1959

  • Only a end of the experiment showed pale clover and a marked response to Mo.

  • Conclusion little chance of Mo reponses ; unlikely to be extensive areas of Mo defiicency on this soil type in the district
