Evaluation of the Influence of Sulfur and Municipal Solid Waste Compost on Soil pH and Uptake of Some of the Micronutrients by Corn.

Application of sulfur and organic matters has an important role in improving of physicochemical properties in soils. In this research optimizing the mixture design between sulfur and municipal solid waste compost for application in an alkaline soil was tested.Materials & In this research randomized designs with three replications is used. The applied factors were the total fertilizer content of compost and sulfur, M, and the ratio between sulfur and compost in fertilizer, T. M factor had four options, zero,0.5, 1 and 2 percent of soil weight and T factor include 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 sulfur to compost ratios.Discussion & The obtained results indicated that all of treatments with 99 percent contingency decreased the soil pH and T2M4 treatment had the best influence. The content of Zn uptake by corn has been significant in 5 percent level in many treatments. The content of Fe uptake had remarkable incensement in treatments, but it wasnt significant.
