Sulfur is important in soybean, take precautions before use

  • The symptoms of sulfur deficiency in soybean crops are first visible on young leaves. Leaves are pale green in colour, but older leaves remain normal. After some time the leaves and foliage become small in size and the whole plant turns yellow. Stems thin and weak, roots become stiff, which stunts plant growth.

  • Biochemical Importance of Sulfur: Sulfur is an essential component of some important amino acids. It has an important contribution to the production of green matter. Sulfur is helpful in the organic production of oil, nodule formation in the soybean crop, biological nitrogen fixation and in the formation of healthy grains.

  • It is very important to take the following precautions before using sulfur in soybean crops. Firstly, Sulfur can be used at the time of sowing or up to 40 days after sowing. Before using sulphur, it should be kept in mind that it is necessary to have sufficient moisture in the field, in case of less rainfall, light irrigation must be done after using sulphur.
