Abstract
Several methods for evaluating the sulfur status of soils were compared. Among chemical procedures used, water and phosphate extractions gave the best agreement with sulfur A values and total sulfur uptake by alfalfa from Nebraska soils. Water was an inefficient extractant of sulfate from a Hawaiian Latosol. Calcium phosphate solution was a more convenient extractant than KH2PO4 for both Nebraska and Hawaii soils.Funding Information
