Abstract
Pulses are of paramount importance in Indian agriculture for being incredibly rich in vegetable protein. Their unique characteristic of symbiotic nitrogen fixation in collaboration with Rhizobium bacteria categorizes them as leguminous crops. Numerous research efforts have realized the balanced supply of micronutrients to be extremely important for maximizing overall development of pulse crops. Among those micronutrients, molybdenum (Mo) is one of the major concerns. It acts as a cofactor for the enzymes namely nitrogenase and nitrate reductase, which take lead roles in biological fixation and subsequent assimilation of nitrogen in legumes. Thus, Mo plays a vital role in N metabolism and biosynthesis of protein. Besides, it also facilitates several physiological and biochemical processes in pulse crops. Application of Mo enhances the bioavailability of other essential nutrients to crops. Studies have approved the significance of Mo to flourish growth, yield and nutritional aspects of different pulse crops such as chickpea, lentil, field pea, grass pea, pigeon pea, black gram, green gram, soybean, cowpea, kidney bean, broad bean, horse gram and cluster bean predominantly cultivated in India. Therefore, a successful husbandry of grain legumes necessitates the inclusion of Mo fertilization.

钼对印度豆类作物生产的重要性
摘要
豆类在印度农业中至关重要,因为它富含植物蛋白。它们与根瘤菌合作共生固氮的独特特征细菌将它们归类为豆科作物。许多研究工作已经意识到微量营养素的平衡供应对于最大限度地提高豆类作物的整体发展极为重要。在这些微量营养素中,钼 (Mo) 是主要问题之一。它充当固氮酶和硝酸盐还原酶等酶的辅助因子,它们在豆类中的生物固定和随后的氮同化中起主导作用。因此,钼在氮代谢和蛋白质的生物合成中起着至关重要的作用。此外,它还促进豆类作物的多种生理和生化过程。钼的应用提高了其他必需营养素对作物的生物利用度。研究证实了钼对不同豆类作物如鹰嘴豆、扁豆、豌豆、草豌豆、木豆、黑豆、绿豆、大豆、豇豆、芸豆、蚕豆、马豆和丛豆,主要在印度种植。因此,谷物豆类的成功养殖需要添加钼肥。
