“…Laboratory and glasshouse studies have shown that many overseas and New Zealand soils have a high potential to lose S via subsurface drainage or leaching (Hogg & Cooper 1964;Hogg 1965;Cooper & Hogg 1966;Muller & McSweeney 1974;Peverill & Douglas 1976). This potential is affected by soil characteristics and fertiliser form (Chao et al 1962;Muller & McSweeney 1974).…”

Losses of sulphur (S) in surface runoff and subsurface drainage waters were measured during a 2-year study on a grazed yellow-grey earth soil (Tokomaru silt loam). Dissolved sulphur (S) losses in subsurface drainage from pastures fertilised the preceding spring averaged 11.0 ± 3.5 kg S/ha per year. Application of 43 kg S/ha in late autumn-early winter increased dissolved S losses by 4.5 ± 1.5 kg S/ha. Dissolved S concentrations in the drainage were significantly correlated with water-soluble soil S, but total dissolved S losses were not. Losses of dissolved S in surface runoff were markedly affected by fertiliser addition and subsurface drainage. Losses from gently sloping (6°) plots were minimal except when fertiliser S was applied in late autumn to undrained pastures. Under these conditions, 8070 (4.5 kg S/ha) of the applied superphosphate was lost in surface runoff during a 6-week period. In another study, where dissolved superphosphate was applied in autumn, 13% (7.2 kg S/ha) of the applied S was lost in surface runoff from an undrained pasture.

Sulphate m o v e m e n t through two contrasting soils under various water regimes was studied in the laboratory. In both soils the downward m o v e m e n t of K2SO4 labelled with S a5 applied on the surface increased with increasing a m o u n t of water applied. However, in one soil of volcanic origin, Montreal sandy loam (an Andept, Inceptisol) with high organic m a t t e r content, most of the sulphate was retained in the top 15 cm even under 20 cm of applied water. I n the other soil, Montserrat clay (a Mollisol derived from glauconitic sandstone), with this a m o u n t of added water SO4 accumulated in the lower end of the column (45 cm) and some appeared in the leachate in spite of the high content of free Fe203 and A120~. Differences in the extent of sulphate movement in the two soils was accounted for by the differences in their properties which affect sulphate retention.
