When to Use Elemental Sulphur vs Sulphate: Leaching, ASC and Soil pH
This lesson explains how elemental sulphur works as a slow-release sulphur source and when it is most useful in New Zealand farming systems. Dr Ants Roberts, Science Mentor, outlines the differences between sulphate and elemental sulphur, how soil biology converts elemental sulphur into plant-available sulphate, and why regular use should be balanced with liming to manage soil acidity.
