  Definition  

Sulphur deficiency [ Horticulture - Phytopathology ]
     
  Absence or insufficiency of sulphur needed for normal growth and development.  
     
Sulphur deficiency is seldom a problem in plant production. Whilst most soils contain sufficient sulphate, "soilless" potting media usually have a fertiliser such as ammonium sulphate or potassium sulphate added, in which case the sulphate is a "carrier" for another element. Sulphur deficiency causes the younger leaves of the plant to become pale green in colour, particularly between the leaf veins
