Summary

The application of molybdenum, as ammonium molybdate at 40 gm./ha. as a foliar spray, alone or in combination with 400 kg./ha. of N, as ammonium sulphate, significantly increased total and soluble nitrogen in the leaves, stem and grains of the high-yielding rice cultivar IR8. The significant increase in protein content of grains was associated with a corresponding increase in most of the protein-bound amino acids, viz. leucine, phenylalanine, methionine and valine, alanine, threonine, glutamic acid, serine and glycine, aspartic acid, lysine, arginine and histidine, asparagine and proline. Nitrogen itself considerably increased the protein content, but nitrogen in combination with molybdenum was more effective.
