Enxofre para as plantas: importância do nutriente, formas de absorção e exigências na cultura do milho e da soja

Abstract

It is important that there is full balance of nutrients. Sulfur, for example, is essential for the plant because it is a important structural and metabolic constituent. And, despite the greater reserve of the nutrient being in the soil as S-organic, have been demonstrating increments in productivity, mainly in sandy soils and poor in organic matter. Importance of sulfur to plants Sulfur (S) is one of the nutrients most required by plants, with fundamental role in metabolic processes and in the production of proteins. It is also linked to metabolic processes of the photosynthesis, present in coenzymes such as ferredoxin, and associated to nitrogen fixation.
