The soils in the tropical countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America are facing widespread S deficiency. In many cases S deficiency is localized or is specific to a crop, soil system, or an agroclimatic region. The application of sulfur on S-deficient soils generally results in positive crop response. The primary purpose of this chapter is to evaluate the nature and magnitude of crop responses to S fertilization in tropical developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
