Garlic Plants Need Sulfur (but not too much!)

What exactly is sulfur, and why does it matter so much for your garlic plants?

Garlic Needs Sulfur: The Secret Ingredient for Bigger Bulbs and Stronger Plants

Garlic is a superstar in the garden, but its secret to success lies in an often-overlooked nutrient: sulfur. While you might think of sulfur as the stuff that makes onions make you cry, for garlic, it’s a vital nutrient that powers its growth, flavor, and health. But what exactly is sulfur, and why does it matter so much for your garlic plants? Sulfur is a naturally occurring element that plays a major role in the formation of essential compounds in plants. It’s a building block of amino acids, proteins, vitamins, and even some of the plant's natural defenses. Without it, garlic wouldn’t have the distinctive spicy kick, the hearty flavor, or the medicinal benefits that make it such a kitchen favorite.

BIG WARNING: Let's be real—the desire to grow the most epic garlic ever is a powerful one. We've all been there, standing in our garden, a vision of plump, pungent cloves dancing in our heads, and a sudden, brilliant idea strikes: "I'll just add 100 lbs of sulfur! That's gotta be the secret sauce!" Hold that thought...

While the spirit of your gardening gusto is absolutely admirable, the reality is a little more nuanced, and a lot less about dumping massive quantities of any one thing. Think of your garden's soil as a delicate, complex ecosystem—a microscopic city buzzing with life. Just like a city planner wouldn't randomly build a 500-story skyscraper without first checking the blueprints and soil stability, we shouldn't throw a huge amount of a single element into our garden beds. The magic of gardening lies in balance. Adding too much of any one thing can throw everything else out of whack, like a party where one guest is hogging all the chips, or that couple in the corner who are screaming at each other - who wants to see that?

That's where a professional soil test comes in. It's the ultimate backstage pass to your garden's world. This test gives you a detailed report card of your soil's current nutrient levels, pH, and organic matter content. It tells you exactly what your garlic needs—and what it absolutely doesn't. You'll get precise recommendations, so you can add just the right amount of the right stuff. It's like having a personal trainer for your plants, ensuring they get the perfect workout without overdoing it. Please do not start hauling bags of sulfur to your garlic patch. Take a moment, and get that soil test done. Your future garlic—and your back—will thank you for it.

Different Forms of Sulfur

But not all sulfur is created equal when it comes to plant nutrition. There are three main forms of sulfur that plants interact with: elemental sulfur, sulfates, and sulfites.

• Elemental sulfur is the pure form that plants can’t use directly. It needs to be broken down by soil microbes into more accessible forms, like sulfates, before it can be absorbed by the plant roots. This can take years, and years.

• Sulfates are the most plant-friendly form. Once sulfur is converted into this state, it’s absorbed by garlic and other plants through their roots, making it available for the synthesis of key compounds like amino acids and enzymes.

• Sulfites are a bit more complex. They’re not directly used by plants in large quantities, but they do play a role in certain chemical processes within the soil.

When garlic gets its sulfur in the sulfate form, it’s able to thrive. This nutrient boosts bulb development, helps the plant resist diseases, and contributes to the creation of compounds like allicin (the molecule that gives garlic its signature punch). Additionally, sulfur helps garlic to break down sugars and produce energy, ensuring healthy, strong growth throughout its life cycle. In short, garlic needs sulfur for more than just flavor. It's essential for its health, resilience, and that delightful aroma that makes it a staple in both gardens and kitchens. Whether you're planting a small crop or a sprawling garlic farm, adding sulfur in the right forms can make all the difference between a bland, weak crop and a robust, flavor-packed harvest.

Garlic plants, the picky eaters of the garden world, prefer their sulfur in a form called sulfate. They can absorb it through their roots from the soil, like vampires slurping up a sulfur smoothie. And boy, do they need it! Sulfate plays a vital role in building those pungent cloves, keeping plants strong and healthy, and even warding off pesky diseases. Without enough sulfur, our garlicky heroes grow weak and sickly. Their leaves turn yellow, their cloves shrink, and the magical allicin potion dwindles. It's like Captain America without his shield – vulnerable and sad.

How do we keep our garlic gardens thriving? We can add sulfate-rich fertilizers, like potassium sulfate or gypsum, to give them a sulfur power-up. Compost and even manure are also great sources of this vital nutrient. Sulfur exists in organic matter like compost and decomposing plant material. As organic material breaks down, sulfur is released in a form that plants can absorb. Ammonium Sulfate and Other Sulfate forms of sulfur are readily available to plants, and are often used as fertilizers. They also supply nitrogen, so they’re a balanced source for plants needing both sulfur and nitrogen.

Does Sulfur Break Down in Soil?

Yes, sulfur breaks down in the soil through microbial activity. Elemental sulfur, in particular, undergoes a process called oxidation, where sulfur is converted to sulfuric acid by soil bacteria. This acidification process not only lowers the soil pH but also releases sulfate, which is then taken up by plant roots. This is why elemental sulfur is a great way to both lower soil pH and supply sulfur to plants over time.

Sulfur’s Role in Garlic Growth:

Protein Synthesis: Sulfur is a key component in amino acids (like cysteine and methionine), which are vital for protein synthesis in garlic.

Flavor and Health Compounds: Sulfur contributes to the formation of sulfur compounds (such as allicin) that give garlic its pungent flavor and health benefits. Sulfur is the silent partner in the garlic tango. It may not get the flashy headlines, but without it, the show wouldn't go on. So next time you bite into a juicy clove, thank not just the sun and water, but also the humble, hardworking sulfur, the secret ingredient that makes garlic the rockstar of the kitchen. Now go forth and spread the garlicky gospel, and remember, a little bit of sulfur goes a long way in the quest for flavorful, healthy garlic!

Question: Do my Garlic Plants Need Sulfur?

Answer: Sulfur (S) is one of the 17 elements essential for all plant growth. Sulfur is the fourth most important element in plant growth after nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in terms of the amount required. Sulfur is a very important component of plant metabolism and is required to improve the overall growth and well-being of plants. The deficiency of sulfur leads to stunted growth of plants and ultimately loss of yield. Sulfur supports several different plant functions, including the formation of enzymes, the creation of new proteins in plants, aiding in photosynthesis and directly affecting growth and energy. Sulfur also helps plants' resistance to disease, aids in bulb growth, and sulfur compounds are directly related to garlic's unique healing benefits and flavors. Sulfur is a structural component of protein bonds, vitamins, and amino acids. Garlic plants absorb sulfur through their root systems in the SO₄²⁻ form. This means that all elemental sulfur, including sulfur in compost and manure, must be converted to SO₄²⁻ in order to be utilized by garlic and other plants. Sulfate-Sulfur is the only form of sulfur the plant can utilize. Elemental sulfur is dependent upon time, temperature and moisture to be available to the plant. Sulfate-Sulfur will not acidify the soil.

Question: Why are the Leaves of our Garlic Plants Turning Yellow?

Here are 5 common reasons why garlic leaves may turn yellow during the growing stage, based on established horticultural knowledge:

1. Natural Maturation In late spring or early summer (especially for hardneck varieties), the lower leaves naturally yellow and die back as the plant directs energy to bulb development. This is normal if it starts from the bottom up and occurs close to harvest time (typically 8–9 months after fall planting).

2. Overwatering or Poor Drainage Garlic prefers well-drained soil. Excess water leads to root rot (often caused by Fusarium or Pythium fungi), reducing oxygen uptake and causing yellowing, wilting, and stunted growth. Symptoms often appear after heavy rain or in clay-heavy soils.

3. Nitrogen Deficiency Garlic is a heavy feeder. Insufficient nitrogen (common in sandy or depleted soils) causes uniform yellowing starting in older leaves. Soil tests showing N below 20–30 ppm or lack of compost/manure application are typical triggers.

4. Onion White Rot (Sclerotium cepivorum) This soil-borne fungal disease causes yellowing, wilting, and collapse of leaves, often with white fluffy mycelium at the base and small black sclerotia on roots/bulbs. It persists in soil for years and spreads via contaminated tools or plants.

5. Pest Damage (e.g., Onion Maggots or Nematodes) Larvae of the onion maggot (Delia antiqua) tunnel into bulbs, while root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) cause swollen roots and yellowing foliage. Damage is worse in cool, wet springs; look for entry holes or galls on roots when inspecting.

6. Sulfur Deficiency Garlic has a relatively high sulfur requirement (it’s in the Allium family, which uses sulfur for flavor compounds like allicin). When soil sulfur drops below ~10–15 ppm (common in sandy, low-organic-matter, or heavily rained-on soils), plants show pale green to yellow older leaves with uniform chlorosis—similar to nitrogen deficiency but often with slightly stunted, stiff foliage.

   • Confirmation: Soil test showing low SO₄²⁻; tissue tests <0.2% S in leaves.

   • Fix: Apply gypsum (calcium sulfate), elemental sulfur, or sulfate-based fertilizers (e.g., ammonium sulfate) pre-planting or as a side-dress in spring.

Quick Diagnostic Tip: Pull a plant—if roots are brown/rotten, focus on drainage/disease; if healthy but leaves yellow uniformly, test soil nutrients. Adjust based on your region’s conditions (e.g., MST zones 5–7 often see cold/wet spring issues).

Sulfur plays an important role in the production of chlorophyll and photosynthesis. Garlic plants use the process of photosynthesis to transform sunlight, oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and simple sugars that the plants use as fuel. Sulfur, calcium, and magnesium make up a group called "secondary nutrients," which means that the quantity of each is vital to the life of a plant. A garlic crop’s need for sulfur is closely associated with nitrogen. Both sulfur and nitrogen are components of protein and are involved in chlorophyll formation. Garlic plants are heavy feeders and have a fairly high nitrogen need. They typically have a high sulfur need as well. Sulfate-Sulfur is the only form of sulfur the plant can utilize.

Know your Sulfur. There are several different forms of sulfur, but only one form is available to plants: sulfate. Sulfate is a negatively charged ion that is easily absorbed by plant roots. It is found in many different fertilizers, including ammonium sulfate, potassium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate.

Sulfur is an essential nutrient for plants. It is involved in the production of proteins, chlorophyll, and vitamins. It also helps to regulate plant growth and development. Sulfur deficiency can cause a number of problems in plants, including stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and poor yields. To ensure that your plants have enough sulfur, you should test your soil regularly. Pay a soil lab to perform a proper test. If your soil is low in sulfur, you can apply a fertilizer that contains sulfate sulfur. You can also apply sulfur-rich compost or manure to your soil.

Sulfur is an essential nutrient for plants. It is a component of many proteins and amino acids, which are the building blocks of plant cells. Sulfur is also involved in the synthesis of chlorophyll, which is the pigment that gives plants their green color. Sulfur is found in soil and water, but it is often unavailable to plants. This is because sulfur is often bound to other minerals in the soil. To make sulfur available to plants, it must be converted into a form that can be absorbed by the roots. There are a few ways to make sulfur available to plants. One way is to add sulfur-rich fertilizers to the soil. Another way is to apply sulfur-rich compost to the soil. Sulfur can also be made available to plants by adding sulfur-rich minerals to the water. Sulfur is an important nutrient for plants. It is essential for the growth and development of plants. Sulfur is also involved in the production of chlorophyll, which is the pigment that gives plants their green color.

What is Sulfur? Sulfur or sulfur (Sulfur is used in American English, Sulphur is used in British English) is a pale yellow material that is tasteless and odorless. On the Earth's crust, it can be found as the pure element (S) or as sulfide and sulfate minerals. Sulfur is an essential element for life and is found in two amino acids, Cysteine and Methionine. Sulfur is the chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol S and atomic number 16 (Sulfur is the 16th most abundant element on Earth's crust). Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminium, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, and Potassium are the top 8.

Sulfur is considered the 4th Major Nutrient for Plants, following Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). It is classified as a secondary element, along with Magnesium and Calcium, but it is sometimes called “the 4th major nutrient” because some crops can take up as much sulfur as Phosphorus.

The majority of sulfur in most soils is contained in organic matter. Sulfate-sulfur, like most anions, is somewhat mobile in soils and therefore subject to leaching. Soil conditions where sulfate-sulfur is most likely to be deficient are low organic matter levels, coarse (sandy) texture with good drainage, and areas that receive significant rainfall. Manure, if available, is an excellent source of sulfur, as well as many other important nutrients. Most livestock manure, including cow and horse manure, contains approximately 0.25% sulfur. Sulfur content is greater, in poultry manure (0.50%).

Sulfate-Sulfur vs Elemental Sulfur Availability in Plants

What is the Role of Sulfur in Garlic Plants and Bulb Growth?

Sulfur not only helps to increase crop yields and improve plant quality, it also has the potential to help increase the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Sulfur, in the right form, is essential for nitrogen fixation and necessary in the formation of chlorophyll. Most sulfur uptake occurs in the late season during bulb growth. Garlic plants use sulfur in the processes of producing proteins, amino acids, enzymes, and vitamins. Garlic's unique flavor is due partly to the presence of Diallyl Disulfide (DADS or 4,5-dithia-1,7-octadiene), which is an organosulfur compound found in Allium plants. Plants with a high sulfur content may have a greater tolerance to pest and disease attacks.

Can you add too much sulfur to the soil?

Excessive applications of sulfur most often result in a decline in soil pH and an increase in the problems that occur with the pH decrease. Unfortunately, sulfur uptake is reduced as the pH of the soil decreases.

Strategies to Supplement Sulfur in Your Garden.

A soil test is the most important starting point when determining how much, if any sulfur your garden soil will need. A soil-testing laboratory in the Midwest, AGVise (www.AGvise.com) can determine the levels of sulfur in your soil, and help you determine how much you will need to add, based on what crop you are growing. Soil testing of sulfur is usually a measure of sulfate-sulfur. Coarse-textured soils may need sulfur, but finer textured soils can also be deficient. Heavy-feeding crops such as garlic and onions take up and remove more sulfur from the soil as compared to most grain crops. The best place to start is a soil test, then speak with your fertilizer retailer or agronomist.

What source of sulfur is right for you? Selecting the right source of sulfur is critical to ensure enough sulfate-sulfur is present in the soil at key uptake periods. There are several sulfur fertilizer sources available for purchase. Most soluble sulfur fertilizer contains sulfate, but others contain bisulfites, thiosulfates, and polysulfides. The most common insoluble sulfur fertilizer is elemental sulfur, which must be oxidized to sulfate before plants can use it. Keep in mind that Sulfur is included in fertilizer through a range of sources that include:

• NPK fertilizer

• Potassium Sulfate

• Ammonium Sulfate

• Organic Matter

• Phosphoric fertilizer

• Gypsum or Calcium Sulfate

Sulfur is contained in organic matter such as manure and compost, and if you regularly apply organic matter such as compost or manure to your garden, keep in mind that organic sulfur must be mineralized to the inorganic sulfate anion before it can be taken up by crops. The decomposition of organic materials and the resulting sulfur release vary greatly, as this is a biological process and is affected by temperature, moisture, aeration, and particle size. This process also produces some acidity in the soil. Remember that the lower the pH number, the more acidic it's considered. Garlic grows best in soils with a pH between 6-7.

Sulfate fertilizer sources like ammonium, potassium, and calcium sulfate will provide readily available sulfate to a garlic crop. The drawback of these materials is that this form of sulfate can leach through the soil profile quickly after application. While it is possible to leach sulfate, research in Minnesota has demonstrated that sulfate can carry over in medium- to fine-textured soils and be in the soil profile that fall and even year following application. Fall application of sulfate can provide available sulfur to the crop the following year.

When Elemental sulfur is applied to the soil, throughout the growing season, soil microbes convert the elemental sulfur into sulfate-sulfur for season-long feeding. Size matters! The smaller the size of elemental sulfur particles, the easier it is for the microbial population to oxidize it into sulfate-sulfur

When Sulfate-Sulfur-based fertilizer is applied, it supplies both S₄²⁻ and S⁰ in the same granule. When fertilizers are applied to the soil, the sulfate-sulfur is already in the proper form to feed the plant. Fertilizer granules rapidly dissolve and move sulfate-sulfur into the root zone for early-season development. This ensures season-long sulfur availability.

What Are the Best Sulfur Fertilizers for Organic Crops?

Synthetic fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate (AMS), potassium sulfate, and ammonium thiosulfate are not considered organic. What sulfur fertilizers are best for use in organic crop production? Here is a short list of sulfur fertilizers available for use in organic systems (Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI)).

Bentonite sulfur fertilizers (elemental sulfur).

You won’t find a more economical, higher analysis, season-long source of sulfur for agricultural use. Its two primary ingredients are organic: elemental sulfur and bentonite clay. In most cases, the only additional requirement necessary to achieve OMRI certification is the use of an organic dust-suppressant. Bentonite sulfur provides season-long, slow-release sulfur nutrients to the crop. Generally, 30%-40% is converted to sulfate over the growing season. Some products are made with a slow-release mechanism, which can minimize the risk of leaching. Bentonite sulfur fertilizers can be used for soil amendment programs to lower pH. Elemental sulfur, the concentrated form of sulfur, must be oxidized to the sulfate before plants use it.

Gypsum (Calcium sulfate).

Gypsum has been used to improve soil quality for a long time. It contains approximately 17% sulfur and is a readily available sulfate. Gypsum is commonly used as a sulfur source, only where soils or cropping call for it. Gypsum is immediately plant available, and is an affordable sulfur source and source of calcium. It can be used as a soil amendment to increase organic content as well.

Manure.

Manure is an excellent source of sulfur, as well as many other important nutrients. “Most livestock manure contains approximately 0.25% to 0.30% sulfur. Sulfur content is greater, however, in poultry manure (0.50%)” – Sulfur Fertility for Crop Production.

Organic Matter.

Organic Matter, such as aged compost, is a good source of sulfur. In order for sulfur to mineralize and become available for plants, a number of microbial processes need to occur.

Conclusions

Sulfur deficiency results in poor quality and yield of crops. Begin with a soil test to determine if your soil requires additional sulfur. Sulfur exists in many different forms in nature, and plants can absorb sulfur only through their root systems in the SO₄²⁻ form, also known as sulfur-sulfate. All soil elemental sulfur must be converted to SO₄²⁻ in order to be utilized by plants. This means that elemental sulfur, S⁰, is totally unavailable to plants. Elemental S is inert and water-insoluble. When elemental sulfur, S⁰, is added to the soil, microbes, moisture and heat convert S⁰ to a form the plants can use, namely sulfur-sulfate, SO₄²⁻. There are many sources of sulfur found in the soil. Organic matter contains up to 95% of the total sulfur content in soils and the decomposition of organic matter results in the mineralization of organic sulfur into the SO42−, which will be available to plants. Microbial activity is reduced by cold and excessively wet or dry conditions. There are more than 22 different sulfur-containing fertilizers are available commercially, which is immediately available for plant uptake. Some chemical fertilizers contain a considerable amount of sulfur along with nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. The timing and type of sulfur application influence the presence of sulfur in the soil and the availability of the plant. Crop yield can be sustainably improved by adding the right type of sulfur to the soil.

The key to remember is that garlic prefers its sulfur in the form of sulfate, like a well-dressed guest at a fancy dinner party. Sulfate is readily available in the soil, absorbed by the plant's roots like a delicious appetizer. But sometimes, the soil can be a bit stingy with this VIP guest. Compost, manure, and even Epsom salts can be like personal chefs, whipping up delicious sulfate treats for your garlic. Just remember, moderation is key. Too much sulfur can be like a bad buffet, leaving your garlic feeling bloated and sluggish.
