The applications of sulfur in agriculture date back thousands of years. Its origin seems to be in ancient Mesopotamia, but the first known documented case is taken from Homer, the classical Greek author, who wrote about the use of this element for the control of pests and diseases in crops.

Since what historians call the Ancient Ages, the research and development of sulfur has been continuous, with the result that more and more effective and safer products have been appearing over time, both for us and for the environment. We tell you about the applications that this natural substance has today, and we are sure you will be interested in it!

What are the applications of sulfur in agriculture today?

Fungicide and acaricide

It is a fundamental element when it comes to increasing the defense mechanisms that crops have to face diseases caused by fungal pests and mites, as it favors the generation of a series of amino acids essential for the synthesis of compounds necessary for the immune system of plants such as glucosinolates and phytoalexins.

Fertilizer

One of the most important applications of sulfur in agriculture is to support the crop nutrition process. This is due to the fact that the use of this substance has the effect of slowly releasing sulfate ions responsible for capturing micronutrients necessary for plants and, in addition, helping their assimilation.

Biostimulant

Sulfur is necessary to improve plant growth capacity. This is because it is able to diminish the effects of negative factors for crop development such as excess salinity, nitrate concentration in the soil and excess phosphates.
