Deficiencies of S in crops are thought to be increasing due
to a combination of factors, including increased crop yields that result in
more S removal and decreased S deposition from the atmosphere. A database of
the S status of Ohio’s soils for crop growth was developed by combining inputs
from the atmosphere and organic matter with outputs to leaching and crop
removal. The database is organized by soil series within counties and includes
soils that were sampled but never given a series name. In addition to
predicting the S status of a particular soil for crop growth, the database
includes information on atmospheric S deposition, organic C, and texture that
influence a soil’s S status.
