“…Quality farmyard manure was periodically applied to treatments 2 and 3. Based on manure analysis in the last 10 years, it is possible to deduce that S input is approximately 8 kg/ha year (table 3), which also corresponds to the results of Eriksen et al (1998). ammonium sulfate and simple superphosphate application before sowing to treatment 3 added high amounts of mineral S (99.2 kg S/ha year).…”

The aim of this work was to estimate the changes in contents of different sulfur (S) fractions in soils under conditions of lowering inputs of S from emissions together with the influence of application of manure and mineral fertilizers. Soil samples from long-term field experiments were used for this purpose. The samples were taken from 10 sites from precise long-term field experiments with different soil-climatic conditions in the Czech republic. The samples were analyzed using the following fractionation: (i) water soluble S (H 2 o extracts), (ii) sorbed S (0.032M naH 2 Po 4 extracts) and (iii) S occluded with carbonates (1M HCl extract). Furthermore, the concentration of total S (S tot ) and organic S (S org ) was determined. Soil samples were taken in the years 1981 and 2007. During 26 years a decrease of S tot by about 3-8%, water soluble S by 65-68% and sorbed S by 39-44% were observed in the topsoil of the evaluated soils. Furthermore, a low increase in the content of organic S was observed. The estimated ratio of S org reached 78.7-80.9% from S tot in the year 1981 and 87.7-89.8% in 2007. Farmyard manure (40 t/ha) applied every 4 years did not have a significant influence on S fractions and S tot contents in soils; intensive S fertilizing increased S tot and mobile S forms contents in soils. very close correlations were obtained especially between S tot and water soluble S and organic S.

“…According to Kertesz & Mirleau (2004), the S pool in the soil is controlled by the balance between immobilization of soluble S and mineralization of organic S. The factors controlling immobilization/ mineralization include S concentration in organic matter, moisture, pH, presence of plants, cultivation time, type of management and, particularly, the microbial diversity and soil enzymatic activity (Eriksen et al, 1998;Havlin et al, 2005;Schoenau & Malhi, 2008). In general, in oxic soils, organic matter with a C:S ratio of >400 induces a net temporary immobilization of SO 4 2-readily available to plants, whereas organic residues with a C:S ratio of <200 promote net mineralization.…”

SUMMARYSulfur (S) deficiency in soils is becoming increasingly common in many areas of the world as a result of agronomic practices, high biomass exportation and reduced S emissions to the atmosphere. In this review, the incidence and commercial exploitation of S pools in nature are discussed, as well as the importance of S for plants and the organic and inorganic S forms in soil and their transformations, especially the process of microbiological oxidation of elemental sulfur (S 0 ) as an alternative to the replenishment of S levels in the soil. The diversity of S 0 -oxidizing microorganisms in soils, in particular the genus Thiobacillus, and the biochemical mechanisms of S 0 oxidation in bacteria were also addressed. Finally, the main methods to measure the S 0 oxidation rate in soils and the variables that influence this process were revised.Index terms: fertilization, agriculture, microbial diversity, soil fertility. RESUMO: ENXOFRE NA AGRICULTURA A deficiência de enxofre (S) nos solos vem se tornando cada vez mais comum em várias áreas do mundo em razão de práticas agronômicas, alta exportação de biomassa e redução das emissões atmosféricas. Nesta revisão são abordados a incidência, a exploração comercial e estoques de S na natureza, a importância do S para as plantas, as formas orgânicas e inorgânicas no solo e suas transformações, assim como, principalmente, o processo de oxidação microbiológica do enxofre elementar (S 0 ) como alternativa para a reposição dos níveis de S do solo. Também é abordada a diversidade de microrganismos oxidantes de S

“…The content of organic sulfur ranges usually about 90% of total S in soil (Eriksen et al 1998, Solomon et al 2001 and includes (i) sulfur directly bound with carbon; (ii) sulfur indirectly bound with carbon, for example C-O-S and C-N-S bounds (Morche 2008) which can be approximately estimated using the extraction method according to Shan et al (1992). This method can be also used for estimating some part of inorganic sulfur (Havlin et al 2005).…”

Precise field experiments were established at 3 sites with oilseed rape under different soil-climatic conditions in the Czech Republic (Humpolec, Hněvčeves and Uhříněves) in the years [2008][2009][2010]. In this experiment, four fertilizing treatments with increasing S rate were evaluated. The contents of bioavailable (S W ), adsorbed (S ads ), occluded (S ocl ), and hydroiodic acid (HI) reducible (S HI ) sulfur were measured. The contents of the fractions within the studied sites in the samples collected before fertilizers application were comparable. The S W , S ads a S ocl contents did not exceed 10 mg S/kg. The S HI contents differed depending on site and year. Fertilizing using S as CaSO 4 positively influenced the contents of S W , S ads , and S HI in soil. Sulfur fertilizing had also the positive tendencies to increase the winter rape yields but the differences between studied treatments were not statistically significant.
