“…The soil pH dropped from an initial value of 9.08 to 7.56 by addition of S 0 and N fertilizer. In the present study, soil pH decreased more than 1.0 unit and our findings were the same with that of Soliman et al (1992) where a decrease of soil pH by 0.2, 0.5 and 0.9 units was reported as a result of increasing S applications.…”

“…Application of higher levels of S 0 with N played significant role in respect of Mn uptake of maize plants. Manganese uptake was higher along with higher application of N which was most evident at higher S application rates (Kaya et al, 2009;Soliman et al, 1992). The results clearly showed that Zn and Mn uptake increased significantly by corn plants when grown with moderate levels of S 0 with N, whereas zero S 0 and N recorded poor uptake of Mn.…”

) with application of S 0 at rates of 5 and 10 t ha -1 combined with N fertilizer in both Al Zaid and Al Semaih soils, respectively. Soil acidity improved by decreasing soil pH (1.41 to1.52 unit) with application of S 0 at the rate of 10 t ha -1 combined with N fertilizer. Addition of S 0 at the rate of 5 t ha -1 combined with N fertilizer recorded superior total dry matter (TDM) and maximum uptake of all nutrients in both soils. Total dry matter accumulation and nutrient uptake had positive correlation, while soil pH showed negative correlation with TDM and uptake of all nutrients. Based on experimental findings, S 0 at the rate of 5 t ha -1 combined with N fertilizer is suitable for growth of maize in both soils. Collectively, the results indicate that Al Zaid soil is more favorable due to higher nutrient uptake and growth of maize than Al Semaih soil.

“…Soil organic matter and pH are the key factors affecting the content and mobility of heavy metals in soil (Soliman et al 1992, Martinez and Motto 2000, Borůvka and Drábek 2004, Šichorová et al 2004. Another important consideration is human activity which contributes to soil contamination in some regions of Poland, thus leading to changes in the natural heavy metals content.…”

A three-year field experiment was conducted in North-East Poland. Each year three sulfur fertilization rates in the form of sulphate (S-SO 4 2-) and pure (S-S 0 ) sulfur were applied: 40, 80, and 120 kg/ha. After the third year of the study, the application of sulfate and elemental sulfur decreased the zinc content of 0-40 and 40-80 cm soil layers, as compared with soil sampled before the experiment. Over the entire experimental period, sulfur fertilization had no significant effect on changes in the natural copper content of soil at a depth of 0-40 and 40-80 cm. Manganese concentrations remained at a similar level at a soil depth of 0-40 cm. The manganese content of the 40-80 cm soil layer was substantially lower than in the 0-40 cm horizon. An insignificant increase in the lead content of soil was observed. The applied doses of sulfate and elemental sulfur led to an increase in the cadmium content of soil depth of 0-40 cm. Sulfur fertilization contributed to a decrease in the nickel content of soil. The applied doses of sulfate and elemental sulfur exerted a stronger effect in the 0-40 cm soil layer than in the 40-80 cm horizon. Ke y word s: fertilizer; S-SO 4

“…Nitrification inhibitor increased Fe concentration, which was further, increased with sulfur addition. Soliman et al (1992) found that, without S application, plant contents of Fe, Mn, Zn were unaffected by different N-sources. Iron and Phosphorus concentrations and uptake generally increased with S and N applications.…”

SUMMARYA pot experiment was set up to study the effect of urea, Ca(NO 3 ) 2 and urea + nitrification inhibitor in the presence or absence of sulfur on the growth and nutrient uptake by wheat plant. Alluvial and calcareous soils were chosen for these experiments. Wheat seeds were sown and planted in 5 Kg soil packed in plastic pots at the rate of 15 seeds/pot. The plants were thinned 15 days after emergence to obtain ten seedlings per pot. Plant materials at three different growth stages were analyzed for their content of the different nutritional elements. At the end of the growing season plants were harvested (straw and grains) for analysis. Fe percentage and uptake generally increased with increasing S and N applications; the effect of S was more than that of N in that respect. Sulfur application to urea increased Fe concentration and its uptake compared to urea alone. Nitrification inhibitor increased Fe concentration in grains, which increased even more with sulfur addition. Iron content seemed to be affected by different N-forms, sulfur and by nitrification inhibitor treatment. Urea stimulated Fe content in wheat grains as compared with calcium nitrate. ES application was not effective in increasing Fe contents in wheat grains. Application of nitrification inhibitor increased Fe concentration in wheat grains. Urea + inhibitor had a predominant effect on N-uptake by wheat plant. Sulfur application resulted in an increase in N content as well as N-uptake in clay soil. Phosphorus absorption was positively influenced by the addition of nitrification inhibitor.
