Yes, elemental sulfur, sometimes called "flowers of sulfur", is an acceptable organic soil amendment under the U.S. National Organic Program (NOP) guidelines. It's used to reduce soil pH, which makes phosphorous, iron, zinc, and other minerals more available to plants.
Sulfur works by increasing populations of Thiobacillus bacteria in the soil. The bacteria multiply to break down the sulfur and release dilute sulfuric acid into the soil, lowering its pH. Because it requires bacteria to break it down, the sulfur needs to be mixed into the soil, so it's in contact with the bacteria. If it's not mixed in, you'll have strongly acidic areas around blobs of sulfur near the surface, and no effect elsewhere in the soil
Sulfur only works in warm (summer) soil temperatures, and it takes 1-3 months to have an effect, so it's not a quick-fix.

Does sulfur hydrogen and plutonium have organic compounds?
Yes, sulfur, hydrogen, and plutonium can be found in organic compounds. Sulfur is commonly found in amino acids, such as cysteine and methionine. Hydrogen is present in virtually all organic compounds, as it forms covalent bonds with carbon. Plutonium can be incorporated into organic compounds through synthetic processes in laboratories, but naturally occurring organic compounds with plutonium are rare.
Is S8 organic compound?
"S8" refers to elemental sulfur, which is not considered an organic compound. Organic compounds are composed of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, along with other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. Sulfur in its elemental form does not contain carbon and hydrogen bonded together.
What three processes make sulfur available for uptake by plants?
Weathering of rocks containing sulfur minerals releases sulfur into the soil. Decomposition of organic matter by soil microorganisms converts organic sulfur into inorganic forms that plants can absorb. Sulfur can also be directly applied to the soil as a fertilizer, in the form of elemental sulfur or sulfate salts, which plants can take up through their roots.
Is manure acid or alkali?
Manure tends to be slightly alkaline in nature due to the presence of decomposed organic matter. This can help neutralize acidic soil conditions and improve soil fertility when used as a fertilizer.
What is the compound formed by potassium and sulfur and oxygen?
The compound formed by potassium, sulfur, and oxygen is potassium sulfate (K2SO4).
Do plants grow best in chemical fertilizer organic fertilizer or no fertilizer?
A mixture of organic and inorganic fertilizers is recommended.
What is in non organic fertlilizer?
A non organic fertilizer is a synthetic fertilizer that has been produced by man.

What type of fertilizer is best for an organic garden?
Any organic fertalizer will work well, such as Marathon's natural fertilizer. It is a big improvement over typical fertilizer.
Is ammonium sulfate organic?
No, according to http://www.sacbee.com/288/story/1501772.html: "a state investigation caught the Salinas-area company spiking its product with ammonium sulfate, a synthetic fertilizer banned from organic farms."
What is in organic fertilizers?

How composting is being done in your community to produce organic fertilizer?
composting is being one in your community to produce organic fertilizer
Is rubber organic?
In my understanding, rubber is NOT organic. They need sulfur to form a chain and make rubber polymerize. But, one of the company in..................(do not mention) they produce "Organic Rubber" as they declared that no pesticides/fungisides or chemical fertilizer used up.....To produce "organic rubber" you have to meet some requirement--FSC certification. Regards,
Can you add sulfur and fertilizer to your lawn at the same time?
Yes you can. The lime will not interfere with you application of fertilizer.
