By use of physical extraction utilising gravity separation post-treatment of crushing the raw rock material, refined molybdenum trioxide can be added to composted material to increase the efficacy of the product for plant uptake. Molybdenum Oxide has vast potential as a fertiliser product, particularly due to its role in nitrogen metabolism, and the synthesis of protein in plants. Molybdenum is one of the essential micronutrients that acts as a catalyst required by plants and symbiotic bacteria in order to make nitrogen plant-available.
