Answer:
Sulphur is one of the 17 essential plant nutrients. It is abosorbed in the form of sulphate. functions of sulphur are:
- Formation of chlorophyll, the green substance in leaves that permits photosynthesis.
- Protein production, primarily because S is a constituent of three s-containing amino acids (cysteine, cystine and methionine),
- Systhesis of oils for oilseeds.
- Activation of enzymes, which aid in biochemical reactions within the plant.
- Increases crop yield and improves produce quality, both of which determine the market price a farmer would get for his produce.
- Specifically with reference to crop quality, S improves protein and oil percentage in seeds, cereal quality for milling and baking, marketability of dry coconut kernel (copra), quality of tobacco, nutritive value of forages etc.
