“…The NS particles are rapidly oxidized by Soxidizing bacteria to hydrogen ions and sulphuric acid within a few weeks under optimal conditions (Shakoor et al 2023;Yazhini et al 2023). The hydrogen ions and sulphuric acid's action causes the relatively high pH value of calcareous sandy soil to be reduced (Akay et al 2019;Amin and Mihoub 2021). The particle size plays a key role in the accelerating NS oxidation process (El-Kholy et al 2013;López-Mosquera et al 2015;Sholeh and Blair 1997;Scherer et al 2012).…”

USE of nano-sulfur (NS) as a suspension to mitigate calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) of calcareous sandy soil is a new strategy and has not yet been tested. In a pot experiment, this study evaluated four NS suspensions containing 15, 30, 60, and 90 kg NS ha −1 , plus the control (distilled water only, 0 NS). Pots were incubated under laboratory conditions for two months. Then, total, active, and active/total CaCO 3 , as well as the CaCO 3 -related properties were estimated. The suspension containing 90 kg NS ha −1 was superior, while that containing 30 kg NS ha −1 was optimum. However, from an economic perspective, the suspension containing 15 kg NS ha −1 was preferred. With the optimum suspension, active, total, and active/total CaCO 3 reduced by about 24%, 40%, and 22% compared to the control, respectively. Furthermore, the CaCO 3 -related properties, such as pH decreased by 0.48 unit and sodium adsorption ( Na-adsorption ) ratio by 18%, while soluble Ca 2+ , K + , SO 4 2− , water stable aggregate index, and macro-to micro-pores ratio increased by about 100%, 44%, 19%, 33%, and 60% compared to the control, respectively. In general, the optimal active CaCO 3 for better soil properties improvement is less than 10%. The NS suspension has a high corrective power on CaCO 3 and its related properties in the short term (60 days). However, regular application is recommended to continue pH reduction and neutralize CaCO 3 . Therefore, NS suspension may be an effective option when an immediate reaction from the amendment is needed, especially at critical stages of growth.

“…Ferrous sulfate, aluminum sulfate and elemental sulfur can be used to lower soil pH. Elemental sulfur (ES) applications have been shown by many studies to have long-lasting effects and be economically practicable for soils high in CaCO 3 19 – 21 . Elemental sulfur application is a viable option for neutralizing soil pH in many areas 22 and it has been shown to provide balanced fertilization for crops and improve crop yield if applied in appropriate amounts 23 .…”

In most agricultural fields, when soil pH is high, elemental sulfur or sulfuric acid are used to reduce soil pH and increase the availability of macro and micronutrients for optimum crop yield. However, how these inputs impact soil greenhouse gas emissions is unknown. This study aimed to measure the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and pH after the application of various doses of elemental sulfur (ES) and sulfuric acid (SA). Using static chambers, this study quantifies soil greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, N2O, and CH4) for 12 months after the application of ES (200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 kg ha−1) and SA (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kg ha−1) to a calcareous soil (pH 8.1) in Zanjan, Iran. Also, in order to simulate rainfed and dryland farming which are common practices in this area, this study was conducted with and without sprinkler irrigation. Application of ES slowly decreased soil pH (more than half a unit) over the year whereas application of SA temporarily reduced the pH (less than a half unit) for a few weeks. CO2 and N2O emissions and CH4 uptake were maximum during summer and lowest in winter. Cumulative CO2 fluxes ranged from 1859.2 kg−1 CO2-C ha−1 year−1 in the control treatment to 2269.6 kg CO2-C ha−1 year−1 in the 1000 kg ha−1 ES treatment. Cumulative fluxes for N2O-N were 2.5 and 3.7 kg N2O-N ha−1 year−1 and cumulative CH4 uptakes were 0.2 and 2.3 kg CH4-C ha−1 year−1 in the same treatments. Irrigation significantly increased CO2 and N2O emissions and, depending on the amount of ES applied, decreased or increased CH4 uptake. SA application had a negligible effect on GHGs emissions in this experiment and only the highest amount of SA altered GHGs emissions.

“…It is estimated that the global sulfur fertilizers market size will grow by 3.57% in 2026 (Anonymous, 2022b;Anonymous, 2022c). In the working soil where this field trial was carried out, in the previous 10-week incubation experiments it was indicated that the pH value of the soil decreased partially as the incubation time of elemental sulfur with the soil increased (Akay et al, 2019). In this study, the effects of elemental sulfur added in different proportions on the development, chemical content and sulfur uptake of green beans were investigated in the calcareous and high pH soil covering large areas in Konya.…”

In our country, most of the bean cultivation areas, are in the Central Anatolia Region. This study was carried out to determine the sulphureous fertilizer demand of beans grown in the calcareous soils of the region under field conditions in Konya. Early "seat bean" variety was used as a plant material. In the experiment, elemental - sulphur (S) was applied to the parcels at the doses of “0-20-40-80 kg S/da. At the end of the experiment, leaf chlorophyll SPAD values showed a significant increase in the plots where the highest sulfur dose was applied. Parcel yield and leaf surface area increased significantly with increasing sulfur doses (P
