Yes, elemental sulfur, sometimes called "flowers of sulfur", is an acceptable organic soil amendment under the U.S. National Organic Program (NOP) guidelines. It's used to reduce soil pH, which makes phosphorous, iron, zinc, and other minerals more available to plants.
Sulfur works by increasing populations of Thiobacillus bacteria in the soil. The bacteria multiply to break down the sulfur and release dilute sulfuric acid into the soil, lowering its pH. Because it requires bacteria to break it down, the sulfur needs to be mixed into the soil, so it's in contact with the bacteria. If it's not mixed in, you'll have strongly acidic areas around blobs of sulfur near the surface, and no effect elsewhere in the soil
Sulfur only works in warm (summer) soil temperatures, and it takes 1-3 months to have an effect, so it's not a quick-fix.
What else can I help you with?
Does sulfur hydrogen and plutonium have organic compounds?
Yes, sulfur, hydrogen, and plutonium can be found in organic compounds. Sulfur is commonly found in amino acids, such as cysteine and methionine. Hydrogen is present in virtually all organic compounds, as it forms covalent bonds with carbon. Plutonium can be incorporated into organic compounds through synthetic processes in laboratories, but naturally occurring organic compounds with plutonium are rare.
Is S8 organic compound?
"S8" refers to elemental sulfur, which is not considered an organic compound. Organic compounds are composed of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, along with other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. Sulfur in its elemental form does not contain carbon and hydrogen bonded together.
What is the compound formed by potassium and sulfur and oxygen?
Potassium sulfate (K2SO4) is a component of fertilizer.
What three processes make sulfur available for uptake by plants?
Sulfur is taken up be plants as sulfate which must be reduced to sulfide in order for plants to make use of it. Sulfate must first be activated to adenosine 5-phosphosulfate (APS) which is catalyzed by ATP sulfurylase. The APS is then reduced to sulfite with the help of APS reductase with glutathione as a reductant. The sulfite is then reduced to sulfide by sulfite reductase with ferredoxin as a reductant.
