Abstract
"The most limiting nutrients for cotton production are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. However, on many Delta soils, sulfur (S) and boron (B) fertilization are also important for making optimum cotton lint yields. Sulfur is needed by cotton plants to produce amino acids, which are required to make proteins and enzymes. About 3 percent of the plant tissue is composed of sulfur. Boron is considered a micronutrient because it is a cell wall component and comprises only 0.2 percent of the plant material. Many farmers do not have soil samples from their fields tested for sulfur or boron. One reason is most soil test laboratories do not include the elements in their standard analysis. Typically, an additional $5 to $10 fee is charged for testing sulfur and micronutrients."--First page.
