Sulfur deficiency made worse by

  • Acidic soils
  • Light, sandy soils (leaching)
  • Low organic matter
  • Poorly aerated soils (waterlogged soils
  • ) Areas with low industrial emissions

Sulfur is important for

  • Component of enzymes and other proteins
  • Necessary for chlorophyll formation and efficient N-utilization
