Molybdenum Research in New. Zealand

Abstract: Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal falling in the same group as chromium and tungsten. Molybdenite, the only ore of commercial importance, is world-wide in distribution, but the chief sources are from Colorado and New Mexico, U.S.A., and Chile. A very small amount was mined at Mt. Radiant, Xaramea, about 1917. In 1941 world production was 17,000 tons a year, of which 15,000 tons came from U.S.A. Present annual production approaches 20,000' tons. The main consumption is in heat-resistant steel alloys, such as … Show more

“…The only trace element that has been reported as lacking in South Island hill and high country for pasture growth requirements is molybdenum (Mo). The earliest evidence of pasture yield responses to Mo was reported by Davies (1952) near Outram on the Otago Plateau, and Holmes (1952) from Invermay Research Station. Lobb (1952) recommended application rates of up to 70 g/ha of sodium molybdate from his work in North Otago on Pallic soils.…”
