Abstract

Regular maize fertilizer experiments were conducted to study the effect of sulfur fertilization in meadow soil. The findings show that sulfur fertilization on maize can improve the growth of maize, resulting in more seeds than the control group, ranging from 15 to 30 each, and the thousand seed weight was 3~6 g heavier, the yield increased 26.7~31.2 kg / 667 m2., and the economic returns increased by 34.72~33.92 Yuan / 667 m2.
