NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sulphur is a macro element in plant nutrition. Elemental Sulphur IS available to plants. Oxides are converted to sulphates along with Sulphur. Sulphur and Phosphorus levels required run more or less parallel i.e. Sulphate is needed for growing plants just as badly and in much the same amounts as phosphates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sulfur is an essential macronutrient needed by plants to perform a variety of functions. All plants need sulfur to produce chlorophyll, making leaves green so plants can accumulate biomass through photosynthesis. Often referred to as the fourth major nutrient.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sulfur is an essential nutrient in crop production. It is classified as a secondary element, along with Mg and Ca, but it is sometimes called “the 4th major nutrient”.

Detailed explanation-4: -Macro elements are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K). Meso elements are magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca) and sulphur (S). Micro elements or trace elements are iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), boron (B), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo) and silicon (Si).

Detailed explanation-5: -Macronutrients are types of foods that are needed in large quantities in the diet. These include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, cholesterol, fiber, and water.
