The reasons for greater
occurrence of sulfur
deficiencies in todays soils
are:
.. Increased use of high
analysis sulfur - free fer
tilizers.
.. Increased crop yields
and double cropping in
crease the withdrawal of
plant nutrients including
sulfur from the soil.
. Increased consumption
of low sulfur fuels and
greater emphasis on control
of air pollution, reducing this
atmospheric source of
sulfur.
