Abstract

One of The ways for increasing of micronutrients elements absorbable in Calcareous soil is using of amendments. In this Study the effect of different levels of sulfur and organic materials absorbable of elements, and also some chemical characteristics of soil was investigated. This experiment was done in completely randomized of factorial design with three replications. Treatments was include two levels of sulfur (zero to 250 kg / ha) and two kinds of organic materials, sheep manure and remains of pine with control (without organic material and sulfur addition). The results showed that adding manure and pine remains to the soil significantly increased soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, copper and manganese concentrations in soil. The effect of sulfur on the absorbable iron and manganese concentrations in treatments containing sulfur was significantly more than control. According to the results of the study, the use of sulfur along with organic fertilizers can increase the observation of microelements in the soil by increase in performance of Thiobacillus bacteria and improving the chemical characteristics such as organic carbon and total nitrogen.
