Summary Freshly precipitated ferric and aluminium oxides were added separately to soil and their effects on the availability of both native and added molybdenum were determined using subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) as the experimental plant. Both oxides lowered the molybdenum content of the clover and, although it had a smaller specific surface area, ferric oxide had a greater effect than aluminium oxide. In a parallel study with similarly treated soil, the amounts of molybdenum extracted by 0.01M CaCl2, 0.82M NaHCO3 andM NH4OAc were also lowered by both oxides, and ferric oxide again had the greater effect. Extraction with 0.275M NaHC2O4, as proposed elsewhere for assessing available molybdenum, did not show these differences.
