sulphur
Not normally applied specifically as a fertiliser, as it is included in several other fertilisers which are commonly applied, e g ammonium sulphate Powdered elemental sulphur is sometimes applied to turf and soil to reduce the soil pH, however, great care needs to be taken during application to ensure an even spread is given and also any thatch which is present is not of too high a density otherwise the sulphur can become lodged within the thatch, producing excessive localised acidity which would be detrimental to the sward quality
