title: [Research advance in characteristics of molybdenum, boron and selenium in red soils of South China and effects of their reasonable application on forage grass growth].
abstract: Reasonable fertilization and fertility improvement of red soils are the important measures to develop the forage industry in hilly regions of South China. This paper summarized the existing form, chemical feature, availability and content of molybdenum, boron and selenium in red soils of South China. The lack of these three microelements in red soils was in common, and their reasonable application could significantly improve the growth of forage grass and its yield. The authors discussed the effects of molybdenum, boron and selenium application on the uptake and accumulation of available nutrients by forage grass and relevant physiological functions, described the molybdenum, boron and selenium deficiency symptoms of forage grass, their diagnostic methods and correcting measures, and put forward some suggestions for deepening the study.
