This study had the aim of evaluating the translocation of Mo applied at different times on the development of soybeans, determining their presence in soybean root nodules, leaves and grains. The assay was done in Fazenda Canadá, located in Uberlândia, MG. The experimental design was the one of randomized blocks with seven treatments and six repetitions. The treatments constituted of the following micronutrient application times: 1) control (without application); 2) Co and Mo via seed; 3) Co and Mo at the stage V4; 4) Co and Mo at the stage V6; 5) Co and Mo at the stage R1; 6) Co and Mo at the stage R3; and 7) Co and Mo at the via seed and stage R3. The doses 2.5 g ha-1 Co and 80 g ha-1 Mo were used in the treatments 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, whereas for treatment 7, 2.5 g ha-1 Co and 20 g ha-1 Mo were used in the seeds, and at stage R3 400 g ha-1 Mo was applied. Twenty plants in each plot were collected weekly, for 9 weeks, except for treatments 5 and 6. Which were collected for 8 and 7 weeks, respectively. Molybdenum translocation from leaves to nodules and grains, and nitrogen in the leaves and grain, grain protein and molybdenum and culture yield were evaluated. The results had demonstrated that Mo applied on the leaves translocated to the nodules and grains in the filling phase; the applications of Mo on the leaves or on the seeds did not influence the yield of the culture, the protein and nitrogen contents in the grains; and the application of 400 g ha-1 molybdenum in the R3 stage increased its contents in the grains.
