IMPORTANCE OF SULPHUR IN GLOBAL FOOD PRODUCTION

Each year, urbanization, industrialization and the need for food production increases pressure on the earth's arable land mass. It is estimated that world population will grow by 2.5 billion in the next 40 years and more than 60% of the world's population will be living in big cities within the next 15 years.

By 2050, increases in the global population and calorie consumption will double food demand.

To achieve and sustain the level of food production needed to meet this growth, global agriculture will have to increase crop yield substantially.

Many are familiar with the nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) but few are aware of the need and value of Sulphur as an agricultural input.

Sulphur improves the plant root environment and maintains proper growing conditions in alkaline soils, from Western United States to Brazil, Asia and Africa. Sulphur reduces pH & increases acidity in soil, thereby creating a more favorable environment for crop growth, thus food production increases significantly with application of fertilizers.

SULPHUR FERTILIZER IN GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY

Sulphur can be used to reclaim marginal soils for productive cultivation and thereby slow down the loss of farmland. 3 kg calcium carbonate is neutralized by 1 kg of Sulphur.

Sulphur used as soil conditioner, to improve soil physical / chemical and biological properties, it enhances availability of Phosphorus, Iron, & Zinc.

In the North American Corn Belt, where grains are grown for food, feed and fuel, university research demonstrated that Sulphur fertilizer application increased corn yields by 11 percent per unit area.

Ongoing urbanization, industrialization and the need for more food production are placing increased pressure on the Earth’s land mass. Meeting growing global demand for food will require strategies to slow the current rate of soil degradation and the associated loss in crop productivity.

Sulphur can help society reclaim a portion of lands affected by soil degradation, a condition that reduces global agriculture’s ability to produce an additional 20 million tons of grain each year.

Areas affected by soil degradation are typically concentrated in arid regions: e.g. the western United States, Brazil, Asia and Africa. Soils in these regions often suffer from excessively high pH alkalinity.

Alkalinity deteriorates soil health and suppresses plant intake of essential elements, impeding plant growth to the point of no—or extremely low—appreciable yield.

Sulphur improves the plant root environment in alkaline, or high pH soils
