AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO MEASURE AVAILABLE SULPHUR BY ION CHROMATOGRAHY IN VOLCANIC SOILS
ABSTRACT Sulphur (S) is an essential crop nutrient, and its deficiency in the soil has been reported in recent years. The index of S fertility is based on the sulphate availability measured by the turbidimetry method (TB), because it is easily and quickly applied. However, this method has shown a la...

ABSTRACT Sulphur (S) is an essential crop nutrient, and its deficiency in the soil has been reported in recent years. The index of S fertility is based on the sulphate availability measured by the turbidimetry method (TB), because it is easily and quickly applied. However, this method has shown a large variability, and lack of precision to determine sulphate, particularly in Andisols, so S fertility assessment in this type of soil is not certain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the ion-chromatography method (IC) to obtain more accurate and precise results of the available S in volcanic soils of Chile. Two sites contrasting soil and climate conditions were assessed in their available sulphate content by the TB and IC methods The IC method was tested for accuracy and precision by calculating the curve of calibration and by comparing sulphate in the soil extracts (n=10) with the addition of standard concentrations to the same extracts.
