“…Table 8 results was obtained by [79] who found that it may be due to that sulphur reduced pH of the soil and making phosphorus and micronutrients more available to the plant. Our results were also supported by [80] who reported that utilization of sulfur in calcareous soil and with neutralizing lime improved accessibility of iron. [79] showed the same results.…”

“…The comparable results was obtained by [14] who found that it may be due to that sulphur reduced pH of the soil and making phosphorus and micronutrients more available. Similarly [79] and [80] and [81] found that sulphur has helpful outcome from the soil on releasing phosphorus and increased the yield of plant. Comparable results were also reported by [41] who found that concentration of P might be amplified when organic materials are mixed with rock phosphate.…”

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of sulphur application with Rock phosphate mixed compost on phosphorus (P) solubility and its effect on yield and P uptake of wheat crop. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at the research farm of The University of Agriculture Peshawar. The experiment was conducted during rabi 2015-16 with plot size of 3 m × 5 m. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were applied at the rate of 120, 90 and 60 kg•ha −1 in the form of urea, compost, or single super phosphate and potassium sulphate, respectively. Elemental sulphur was applied at the rate of 10, 20 and 30 kg•ha −1 at the time of sowing. Results showed that sulphur applied with compost significantly improved wheat yield and yield components, soil organic matter, soil total N and AB-DTPA extractable P contents, plant N and P concentrations and their uptake, plant micronutrients concentration and their uptakes. No significant changes were noted in soil pH, ECe and lime contents. Maximum grain yield of 4076 kg•ha

“…It is reported that oxidizing each mole of S produces two moles of hydrogen ions (H + ) in the soil and reduces soil pH that leads to dissolution of nutrients in the root zone (Modaihsh et al 1989;Kaplan and Orman, 1998;Iqbal et al 2012). Different studies have been reported on micronutrient biofortification in plants under normal soils (Hussain et al 2013).…”

Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is one of the main staple food crops which is inherently low in micronutrients, especially iron (Fe), and can lead to severe Fe deficiency in populations having higher consumption of rice. Soils polluted with nickel (Ni) can cause toxicity to rice and decreased Fe uptake by rice plants. We investigated the potential role of biochar (BC) and gravel sludge (GS), alone and in combination, for in situ immobilization of Ni in an industrially Ni-contaminated soil at original and sulfur-amended altered soil pH. Our further aim was to increase Fe bioavailability to rice plants by the exogenous application of ferrous sulfate to the Ni-immobilized soil. Application of the mixture of both amendments reduced grain Ni concentration, phytate, Phytate/Fe, Phyt/Zn molar ratios, and soil DTPA-extractable Ni. In addition, the amendment mixture increased 70 % Fe and 229 % ferritin concentrations in rice grains grown in the soil at original pH. The Fe and ferritin concentrations in S-treated soil was increased up to 113 and 383 % relative to control respectively. This enhanced Fe concentration and corresponding ferritin in rice grains can be attributed to Ni/Fe antagonism where Ni has been immobilized by GS and BC mixture. This proposed technique can be used to enhance growth, yield, and Fe biofortification in rice by reducing soil pH while in parallel in situ immobilizing Ni in polluted soil.

“…Schnug and Finck (16) showed that high doses of acidifying N fertilizers did not improve the uptake of micronutrients by celery grown on a calcareous soil. Reported effects of S applications on micronutrient availability are also inconsistent, varying form clearly positive (6,12,13) to hardly any response (7,8).…”

A pot experiment was conducted with a coarse-textured calcareous soil (pH-H 2 O 8.3) to study the effect of single and combined application of N and S fertilizers on soil pH, Fe, Mn, Zn, and P mobilization, and on growth and micronutrient uptake by com (Zea mays L.). Increasing amounts of elemental sulfur were mixed with the soil. To stimulate S oxidation, the treated soils were incubated for six weeks at field capacity. Nitrogen was applied as NH 4 NO 3 (100, 200, and 400 mg N/kg). After six weeks, dry matter yields were recorded and shoots were analyzed for Fe, Mn, Zn, and P. At the end of the experiment, soil pH and the DTPA-extractable micronutrients were determined. The results showed that: a. Soil pH was decreased by 0.2, 0.5, and 0.9 unit as a result of increasing S applications.b. Applied sulfur and N fertilizer had increased the availability of micronutrients to following crops.c. Application of N and/or S resulted in increased dry matter yields.
