What happens if plants do not get enough sulfur?

If plants do not get enough sulfur, they can experience stunted growth and reduced chlorophyll production, leading to yellowing of the leaves, a condition known as chlorosis. Sulfur is essential for the synthesis of amino acids and proteins, so a deficiency can impair overall plant metabolism and development. Additionally, insufficient sulfur can weaken plants, making them more susceptible to diseases and pests. Overall, this deficiency negatively impacts crop yield and quality.
