Özet

In this study effect of elemental sulphur on availability of rock phosphate for maize plant was investigated. For this purpose, a greenhouse experiment was conducted during the year 2013. Three doses of elemental sulphur (S0: 0, S1: 100, S2: 300 mg S kg-1) and rock phosphate (P0: 0, P1: 36, P2: 72 mg kg-1) were used. Elemental sulphur applications increased amount of available sulphur concentration in soil. In addition, positive effect of rock phosphate applications on oxidation of elemental sulphur in the soil was determined statistically important (p<0.001). At the end of experiment the highest available sulphur concentration in soil was determined at S2P2 application (60.57 mg SO4-S kg-1). Effect of elemental sulphur on availability of rock phosphate in the soil was found statistically important (p<0.001). Applications of elemental sulphur increased the amount of sulphur uptake but any increasing of phosphorus uptake by maize plant was not determined.
