Wheat varieties with improved tolerance of acid soils cold increase yeilds be perhaps 20 per cent or more over a substantialarea ofWestern Australia's eastern wheatbelt.
Aluminium toxicity is probably the main cause of poor root growth and therefore reduced yields on these soils.

Molybdenum Deficiency In The Wheatbelt, M M. Riley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The trace element molybdenum is needed in very small amounts in nitrogen metabolisms of crops and pastures. One of the projects that started as a result of the overall soil acidity research programme was the examination of molybdenum deficiency on acid soils throughout the South-West of Western Australia.
