Symptoms
The pale green/yellow leaves (left) are reduced in size and growth may be stunted. Often seen on younger leaves first.
Reasons
Severe Sulphur deficiency.
Nitrogen deficiency, nightfrosts, water shortage or heavy metal toxicity can cause similar symptoms.
May occur in patches due to soil type.
Sulphur deficiency made worse by
- Acidic soils
- Light, sandy soils (leaching)
- Low organic matter
- Poorly aerated soils (waterlogged soils
- ) Areas with low industrial emissions
Sulfur is important for
- Better crop development
- Improved yield
