In this podcast excerpt, John Kempf explains that molybdenum serves as the enzyme cofactor for nitrate reductase, a key enzyme required by both soil microorganisms and plants.

Consequently, Kempf recommends that every nitrogen fertilizer application should be paired with a molybdenum supplement to ensure optimal plant health and nutrient utilization.
