Abstract
This paper summarises the salient progress made in the research and developmental aspects of S in Indian agriculture. Deficiencies of S occur in about 90 districts affecting 23-30 m ha. Yield responses of 31 crops to S have been obtained. In general, such responses are significant and profitable. Fertilisers used at present add about 0.4 mt S/year which is 40 per cent of S taken up by crops. There is very little activity in product development, promotion and extension of S. Sulphur Is a master nutrient for oilseed production and deserves greater attention than what it has received so far.
