Abstract
The contribution of animal slurry to the supply of S to plants was stu died. The total-S content of cattle and pig slurry was significantly c orrelated to DM and nitrogen content aad was composed of sulfide, sulf ate C-bonded S. During 42 weeks of storage sulfate concentrations decr eased and sulfide and C-bonded S concentrations increased. In a pot ex periment plant-availability of S in slurry was found to be low, 5 to 7 % of total-S.
