t0“reduction in wheat yields”
e0“Available Mn was increased at Beverley”
e1“reduced yields in two out of three multiple wheat cropping trials, where ammonium sulphate (S/A) was applied each year at 376 kg ha-1 (76 kg N ha-1)”

Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulphate lowered soil pH and exchangeable bases at all three sites
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulphate increased exchangeable H in the soil at all three sites
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulphate markedly increased available Al at Merredin and Wongan Hills, to a much lesser degree than at Beverley
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulphate was associated with reduced wheat yields in two of three trials
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulphate increased plant Mn levels at Wongan Hills and Beverley
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulphate showed no consistent effect on plant Al levels
- Intervention effect Ammonium sulphate reduced plant Mo levels at all sites
- Association Reductions in soil Mg and K are reflected in lower contents of these nutrients in wheat tops
- Observation Ca content in wheat tops was affected only at Merredin
- Intervention effect Lime gave a large growth response in pots on soil from high S/A plots at Merredin and Wongan Hills
- Intervention effect Calcium, magnesium or potassium gave no growth response in pots on high S/A soil
- Association The lime response was associated with decreased Al in plants at both sites
- Association The lime response was associated with increased P at Merredin
- Mechanism The authors consider Al toxicity the most likely cause of the yield reductions
- Mechanism The authors suggest K and Mo levels could be marginal for healthy growth of wheat
