Sulphur
The topic of sulphur has been addressed extensively in plant nutrition for more than 15 years.
- In a plant, sulphur is involved in dozens of metabolic processes: protein formation, nitrogen metabolism, antioxidant processes, protective molecules, energy processes – Acetyl Co A...
- The foliar application of sulphur has a negative effect on the development of certain fungi, e.g. powdery mildew, and pests, e.g. mites.
- Foliar S-nutrition increases the vigour of the whole plant. This is reflected in the amount and quality of production.
The most sensitive to sulphur deficiency are:
- oilseeds,
- legumes.
Currently, sulphur deficiency is also observed in:
- cereals,
- corn,
- vegetables and many other crops.
