Expert Solution
Introduction

Plants need some macro-nutrients in the soil to grow well and reproduce. The first three among them are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Sulfur is the fourth macro-nutrient needed by the plants. Soils rich in sulfur can produce high yielding crops and healthy plants.
