Abstract
Abstract Sulfur deficiencies have become more widespread throughout the United States as a result of: (a) reduced SO2 emissions, (b) the use of high analysis fertilizers that contain less S, and (c) reduced applications of animal waste on cropland. The S status of Pennsylvania soils is not known. Studies were conducted at three locations in Pennsylvania under different soil and climatic conditions to determine crop response to S applications. The experimental sites were on a Hagerstown silt loam (Typic Hapludalf), a Gilpin channery silt loam (Typic Hapludult), and a Morrison sandy loam (Ultic Hapludalf) at Landisville, Rector, and Zion, Pa., respectively. Two S materials, elemental S and fluidized bed combustion waste material (FBM), were applied annually to alfalfa and corn at three rates of application: 34, 67, and 134 kg S/ha, with appropriate controls. Elemental S plus CaO treatment was applied to alfalfa at the same three rates. Two levels of N were used in the corn trials, 112 and 224 kg N/ha. The e...
