It has been reported by various workers that the application of molybdenum and P increases the yield of leguminous crops. The increase in the yield of berseem with the increasing doses of Pon soils having low available P₂Os has been reported by Sen and Bains (1951, 1955) and Daljit Singh et al. (1957). Mehrotra and Gangwar (1964) reported an increase of 21% over control with molybdenum treatment. Rao and Raju (1964) reported that molybdenum when applied singly or in combination with boron did not affect the yield of alfalfa significantly. The present study was under-taken with a view to ascertain the suitable doses of P and molybdenum for the growth of berseem on the soils of Jobner tract which are sandy in nature and also to determine whether any interaction exists between the doses of Pand molybdenum. It was also intended to adjudge the efficacy of soil and foliar application of molybdenum.
