4. PROPERTIES
Sulphur is essential in formation
of plant protein because it is a part of
certain amino acids.
It is an essential constituent of several
other biologically active compounds
such as vitamins, lipoic acid, acetyl
coenzyme A, ferrodoxin and glutathione.
5. What is the role of sulphur in plant growth?
It is essential for the growth and
development of all crops, without exception.
Like any essential nutrient, sulphur also has
some key functions in plants:
Formation of chlorophyll that permits
photosynthesis through which plants
produce starch, sugars, oils, fats, vitamins
and other compounds

7. What is the function of sulphur
Sulfur plays an important role in
crucial functions in your body, such
as making protein, regulating gene
expression, building and repairin.
8. Why is sulphur usedin fertilizer?
Sulphur (S) is an essential element in forming
proteins, enzymes, vitamins, and chlorophyll in
plants.
It is crucial in nodule development and
efficient nitrogen fixation in legumes.
Sulphur is also important in photosynthesis
and contributes to crop winter hardiness
9. How do plants take sulfur?
Plants can absorb S only through their root
systems in the SO₄²⁻ form.
Small amounts of sulfur dioxide gas can be
absorbed through leaves, but this is of little
consequence in the overall S nutrition of
plants.
This means that all soil S must be converted to
SO₄²⁻ in order to be utilized by plants.
10. What is Sulphur cycle explain?
The sulfur cycle is a biogeochemical cycle in which the sulfur
moves between rocks, waterways and living systems. ...
Mineralization of organic sulfur into inorganic forms, such as
hydrogen sulfide (H2S), elemental sulfur, as well as sulfide
mineral
What are the steps of Sulphur cycle
Following are the important steps of the sulphur cycle:
Decomposition of Organic Compounds. Protein degradation
releases amino acids that contain sulphur. ...
Oxidation of Hydrogen Sulphide to Elemental Sulphur.
Hydrogen sulphide oxidises to produce elemental sulphur. ...
Oxidation of Elemental Sulphur. ...
Reduction of Sulphates

12. What is the deficiency of Sulphur?
Number and size of leaves remain small.
Tea: Sulphur deficiency is known as “tea
yellows”. Leaves of S deficient bushes turn
yellow, are reduced in size, the internodes are
short and the entire plant appears shrunken.
Under severe deficiency, leaves may curl up
and their edges and tips turn brown
