We have studied the phase transitions of magnetic systems with large biquadratic interactions in the molecular-field approximation. Quadrupole and dipole phase transitions occur at different temperatures whenever the biquadratic interactions are greater than the bilinear terms for effective spin interactions with S>~3/2. For isotropic or Ising-like interactions with S=1 there is only a quadrupole phase transition when the biquadratic interactions are larger.
