TLDR
In this paper, the ability of acid soil to adsorb molybdate phosphate and sulfates was measured in relation to plant availability, and the applicability of these theories to soil was tested.
Abstract
In acid soils, three plant-nutrient anions - phosphate, sulfate, and molybdate - may be adsorbed by mineral surfaces. The availability of phosphate and of sulfate to plants is much affected by this adsorption. It seems likely that molybdenum availability would be similarly affected by molybdenum adsorption. Thus measurements of the ability of soils to adsorb molybdate phosphate and sulfates was measured in relation to plant availability. A further objective was to test the applicability of these theories to soil.

Molybdenum Adsorption on Oxides, Clay Minerals, and Soils

TL;DR: In this article, Molybdenum adsorption behavior was investigated on various crystalline and x-ray amorphous Al and Fe oxide minerals, clay minerals, CaC@, and arid-zone calcareous and non-calcareous ssoils.

Reaction of Anions and Cations with Variable-Charge Soils

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline models that provide a consistent explanation of many seemingly disparate observations and describe bulk behavior from a consideration of molecular behavior, which involve two principles of modeling: one is the principle of sufficiency, and the other is a principle of hierarchies.

Interactions Between Nutrients in Higher Plants

Alan Robson, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between nutrient supply and growth was examined by examining both the relationship and growth of plants and the relationship of nutrient concentrations in plants and growth, where nutrient supply is neither deficient nor toxic for plant growth, interactions can be assessed by considering nutrient concentrations and contents within the plant.

Molybdenum in natural waters: A review of occurrence, distributions and controls

TL;DR: The 2011 WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (fourth edition) advised a health-based value of 70μg/L for Mo but this is no longer promulgated as a formal guideline value as WHO consider such concentrations to be rarely found in drinking water as discussed by the authors.
