Sodium molybdate dihydrate supplies concentrated molybdenum (Mo) for commercial fertilizer blending and carefully formulated hydroponic nutrient solutions. This 250 lb size contains 39.5% molybdenum, a trace nutrient needed in very small amounts for enzymes involved in nitrate utilization.

Product Details

• Molybdenum (Mo): 39.5%.
• Derived from sodium molybdate dihydrate.
• Net weight: 250 lb.
• Packaging: 30-gallon fiber drum.
• A single-nutrient component, not a complete fertilizer.

Molybdenum supports plant nitrogen metabolism and is also needed by the root-nodule bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation in legumes. Account for molybdenum already supplied by water and other fertilizers before adding a separate source.

Nutrient-Solution Mixing Example

The common nutrient-solution range listed for this material is 0.05–0.2 ppm elemental molybdenum. This is a formulation reference, not a universal crop recommendation.

1. Dissolve 0.75 g of sodium molybdate in 1 US gallon of water to prepare a dilute concentrate.
2. Add 5 mL of this concentrate per US gallon of working nutrient solution and mix thoroughly.

At 39.5% molybdenum, this example adds approximately 0.10 ppm Mo, in addition to molybdenum already present. Measure accurately and do not confuse the concentrate recipe with the final application rate. The example is not a foliar, seed-treatment, or field-application rate.

Important Use Guidance

Use according to recommendations from a certified crop advisor, agronomist, university extension publication, or your approved nutrient management plan. Read the safety data sheet before handling.

NOT FOR USE ON FORAGE CROPS FOR RUMINANT ANIMALS. Excess molybdenum in forage can interfere with copper nutrition in grazing animals.
