“…Moreover, the higher the dose of sulfur introduced into the soils, the lower the determined pH of those soils. Similar results were presented by Yang et al [32], Rahman et al [33], Skwierawska et al [34] and Karimizarchi et al [35]. Matos Castañon et al [36] concluded that soil pH was decreased linearly with increasing elemental sulfur doses.…”

Elemental sulfur of waste origin may be a valuable sulfur source for plants. However, assessing the suitability of environmental use of a waste material should confirm there is no harmful effect of the material on soil environment. The purpose of the incubation experiment was to assess the availability of selected elements (P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd) in soils supplemented with waste elemental sulfur. The research was conducted on two soils: light and heavy, and with three sulfur doses applied to each soil. Available forms of elements in the soils were extracted 60 days after the waste introduction, with three reagents: 0.01 mol L−1 CaCl2, Mehlich 3 and 1 mol L−1 HCl. Additionally, to determine the impact of the introduced sulfur on soil acidification, soil pH was periodically checked during the experiment. The sulfur addition intensified acidification of the light soil, and, to a lesser extent, of the heavy soil. The acidifying effect was stronger when the sulfur dose was higher. The content of available forms of elements in the soils depended mainly on the strength of the used extractants (generally, the highest amounts were extracted with 1 mol L−1 HCl and the lowest with 0.01 mol L−1 CaCl2). The effect of sulfur introduction on element availability was small. No harmful effect on element availability in soils was stated.

“…The highest dry weight per plant was recorded in T4 (155.5gm), followed by T3 (145gm), T5 (143.1gm), and T2 (129.5gm), while the control group had the lowest dry weight per plant of T1 (117.8gm). Pandey et al,2008 andRahman et al,2011 reported that application of elemental sulphur significantly increase the dry weight [32,33]. Similar result were reported by Kumar et al 2014 [34].…”

Maize, also known as the "queen of cereals," is a highly nutritious crop that requires a significant amount of nutrients to grow. It is particularly sensitive to deficiency of sulphur. It plays a significant role in the synthesis of chlorophyll, oil, and protein. A field experiment was conducted at Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited in Mumbai, Maharashtra, during the Kharif season 2023, to assess the impact of elemental sulphur application and foliar spray of multi micronutrient on maize plant growth and uptake of nutrients by maize as well as the post-harvest status of soil. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with five treatments that were replicated six times each. T1 is the absolute control, T2 is 100% RDF, T3 is the RDF NPK with 45 kg/ha of elemental S, T4 is the RDF NPK with 45 kg/ha coupled with foliar spray of multi micronutrient, and T5 is the RDF NPK with foliar spray of multi micronutrient. The results indicated that application of 45 kg of S per hectare, in combination with a foliar spray of multi micronutrients, resulted in remarkable growth parameters of maize crops. These included plant height, cob height, yield (in kg/ha), dry weight per plant and also the uptake of essential nutrients. This was markedly higher when compared to the other treatments. Except 100 grain weight which was at par with other treatments. While girth of cob and protein content were found non-significant. The study reports suggest that the combined use of S and multimicronutrient in maize crop positively impact the uptake of nutrients and growth attributes.

“…Srinivasarao et al, (2010) [53] concluded that plant height and dry matter production was maximum with application of sulphur at 20 kg ha -1 than control. Rahman et al, (2011) [36] divulged that dry matter production increased with application of elemental sulphur 5 t ha -1 from his study. Jeet et al, (2012) [18] observed a significant increase in plant height, number of green leaves plant -1 , LAI and dry matter plant -1 with sulphur application at 45 kg S ha -1 in maize.…”

Maize, queen of cereals is a nutrient exhaustive crop and sensitive to sulphur deficiency. Sulphur deficiency in corn results in interveinal chlorosis, yellowing of younger leaves, reddening of stems and leaves. Sulphur is the fourth major plant nutrient next to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It plays a prominent role in formation of chlorophyll, proteins, oil synthesis and biosynthesis of proteins. Sulphur has significant role in growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of maize crop. The uptake of primary nutrients and efficiency of applied fertilizers were seriously influenced by sulphur availability. Sustaining higher yield is not possible under sulphur deficiency. The investigations carried out by eminent research scientist in maize has shown positive impact and application of 45 to 60 kg ha -1 of sulphur gave maximum growth, yield attributes, nutrient uptake, yield and quality parameters. The present paper is a panoramic view of sulphur nutrition in maize from results of different researchers.
