Keg River TV - Does Elemental Sulfur Help Build Soil Microbes?

A subscriber asked if repeat applications of elemental sulfur will build the microbial community in the soil. Independent agronomist Ray Dowbenko explains how it works. Farmers rely on microbial communities to convert (oxidize) elemental sulfur into plant-available sulfate. The elemental sulfur provides a food source to these bacteria. Like other symbiotic relationships in the soil, the more plentiful the food source (in this case, sulfur), the larger and healthier the microbial community. This has been shown repeatedly in research. This explains why an annual elemental sulfur program will steadily increase sulfur levels in the soil, which will lead to a preferential shift in the microbial population.
