Effect of sulfur application on nutrients uptake by wheat

Nutrient status in some soils shows that in some high-nutrient soils, nutrient availability is not enough for optimum growth and development of plants because of high soil pH. For that reason, in arid and semi-arid regions, organic matter and acid compounds is added to reduce the soil pH. Elemental sulfur (S) is the most important compound used to acidify soil. In the suitable conditions of humidity, temperature, ventilation, elemental sulfur is being converted to sulfuric acid by microorganisms. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of sulfur on nutrient availability by wheat in a randomized completely block design with five levels of sulfur (no, 500, 750, 1500 and 3000 Kgha-1 (as elemental sulfur)) in three replications for two years under farm conditions. First and second year results showed that the different treatment had significant effects (p
