The objective of this study was to determine the effects of
powder sulphur (PS) and liquid sulphur (LS) applications on the
development of soil characteristics and corn plant traits (Tuono-600). The
study was carried out in four replication according to randomized
experimental design, , under greenhouse optimum growth conditions. In the
study, each pot was filled with 1 kg of soil on the basis of the over dry
weight, and the powder sulphur and liquid sulphur was applied in the dose
of 250-500-1000 mg S kg-1. Basic fertilization amounted to 400 mg kg-1 of
nitrogen and 80 mg kg -1 of phosphorus that was added to each pot. In soil
samples were determined pH, content of CaCO3, electrical conductivity,
texture, content of organic matter, available phosphorus, total nitrogen,
potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese and copper.
Moreover, content of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu in plant samples
was analysed. In addition, plant height, dry weight and fresh weight were
measured in plant samples. As results, changes in soil pH and macro- and
micro nutrients were found. The results of the analysis of plant and soil
samples were compared with the limit values and the effects of powder and
liquid sulphur forms on soil pH and nutrients were determined.
