Synopsis Cotton was not adversely affected when grown 5 years without added S on a Leadvale silt loam containing, in the upper 12 inches, 128 ppm of S extractable in Morgan's solution. However, when similarly grown on a Norfolk loamy sand containing one ppm extractable S, deficiency symptoms appeared on the plants by the fourth year, and yields were significantly reduced by the fifth year.
