Sulfur
Benefits of Use:
- Improves plant respiration
- Increases photosynthetic rates
- Plays a key role in Ferredoxin, a protein involved in electron transfer
- Is involved in the formation of amino acids such as Cystine and Methionine, which are used to form protein
- Plays an important role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
- Sulfur deficiencies have been known to increase incidence of certain plant diseases
Deficiency Symptoms—When to Apply:
- Chlorosis in leaves from sulfur or nitrogen deficiency
- Stunted growth
- Reduced protein formation
- Crops sensitive to diseases
