Sulfur

This element is mostly used in agriculture to improve the soil. And it is one of the important nutrients for the production of food products. Seeds, fruits, vegetables and crops need it to sustain growth. In recent years, due to more use of fuels with low sulfur content, there has been a significant decrease in its atmospheric deposition. This change has had an important impact on agriculture, because crops need this element in the soil in order to provide it for the synthesis of proteins, a number of vitamins and cofactors. In the rest of this article, the role of sulfur in agriculture and plants, its granular, liquid, and elemental forms, ways to recognize deficiency symptoms, and their consumption methods have been discussed.

Fertilizer S

Historically, crops obtained their sulfur from the environment through SO2 gas from industrial processes that enter the sulfur cycle in large quantities. Today, crops do not get enough S from the atmosphere. This element in mineral fertilizers is in the form of granular sulfur fertilizer (sulfate). Sulfate from fertilizer is easily and immediately absorbed by plants as a nutrient. Sulfate is very mobile in the soil and quickly reaches the plant roots. The use of granular elemental sulfur fertilizer in the early stages and during plant growth makes it suitable for combining with other fertilizers, especially nitrogen, so that this element can be converted into sulfate using soil microbes, and this requires time. has it. Elemental sulfur also has a strong acidifying effect.

Most of these fertilizers can generally be divided into four groups:

Sulfate

Elemental granular sulfur fertilizer
A combination of sulfate and elemental sulfur
Liquid fertilizers (ammonium thiosulfate, potassium thiosulfate and calcium thiosulfate are the most famous of them .
elemental sulfur (0-0-0-90 to 99)
The form of this fertilizer is granule or powder and has 90 to 99% elemental form. Elemental sulfur fertilizer is not immediately effective on soils deficient in this element, but may be a useful part of a long-term management program of this fertilizer to compensate for deficient soils. Elemental sulfur fertilizer cannot be used directly by plants. First, it should be converted into sulfate (SO4-2) usable by plants by soil microorganisms.
