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...
