Abstract
MOLYBDENUM deficiency under Irish conditions has previously been reported to occur in clovers and swede turnips1. During the 1953 season, a severe outbreak of whiptail on cauliflowers occurred on a commercial plot at one of the centres mentioned. The soil, which had an initial pH of 5.3, had received a dressing of 1½ tons of ground limestone per acre as well as a dressing of superphosphate, muriate of potash and sulphate of ammonia at 5, 2 and 3 cwt. per acre respectively.
