Since most university nutrient recommendations were established prior to catalytic converters becoming commonplace, do you feel that sulfur fertilizer is needed in a greater amount than what is being suggested based on older recommendations?
I thought this was an interesting read: “Factors Affecting Increased Need for Calcium, Magnesium and Sulfur.” Like you suggested, the resource discusses catalytic converters as well as other factors like government restrictions on coal-burning furnaces. All of these changes add up, causing less sulfur in the atmosphere so less sulfur coming back to our soil. So, I think keeping all of this in mind when looking at older recommendations is valuable.
