Sulphurs’ Role as a Fertilizing Agent Sulphur is typically converted into H2SO4 – commonly referred to as sulphuric acid. This combination of sulphur, water and oxygen turns up in the manufacturing process of many of our industrial products. Most H2SO4 is used as a process agent to make fertilizer. Its main objective is to break down the chemical and physical structure of phosphate rock, thereby making it more nutritious for plants. The result is super phosphate fertilizer.  | Sulphur as the Fourth Plant Nutrient Sulphur (S) is a macronutrient often required in relatively large amounts for good crop growth. Numerous studies are showing the importance of additional supplements of sulphur in soluble fertilizer form necessary to promote crop growth and nutritional quality while optimizing production. This is due to increasing agricultural intensification and cultivation of less fertile soils. These deficiencies will have to be addressed if maximum crop productivity and economic benefits are to be sustained in the future. |
