A summary of previous research on sulphur

Abstract

Previous research has shown that sulphur is an essential constituent element in plant nutrition. Its importance has been linked to the assimilation of nitrogen and phosphorus in plants. It is thought that the application of sulphur affects the formation of amino acids in the plant and that excess sulphur may bring about yield losses and disrupt protein synthesis. Over the years, one of the focuses of sulphur research has been the role of this element as a pollutant. In recent years, studies on sulphur have focused on the element's circulation in agroecosystems and the development of methods for sulphur determination.

Kroz istraživanja je utvrđeno da sumpor spada u grupu neophodnih konstituconih elemenata u ishrani biljaka. Utvrđeno je da se njegov značaj može povezati sa asimilacijom azota i fosfora u ishrani biljaka. Smatra se da primena sumpora utiče na stvaranje aminokiselina u biljci, a da njegov višak može da utiče na smanjenje prinosa i poremećaj u sintezi belančevina. Ispitivanja sumpora su bila tokom godina usmerena na njegovu ulogu i kao zagađivača. Poslednjih godina istraživanja vezana za sumpor odnose se na ispitivanja kretanja sumpora u agroekosistemima, kao i inoviranje metoda za njegovo određivanje.
