Plant nutrients are essential for the alleviation of chronic and hidden hunger
Mineral nutrients play a dual role as they are essential for both plant health and human health. Currently, plants - and thus crops and the produced foods - contain lower levels of nutrients than what humans require to function efficiently. This article calls for an improved strategy to give the required amounts of nutrients to plants to improve human nutrition and alleviate the global rising issues of hunger.

As the rate of nitrogen fertiliser applied increases the response to sulphur fertiliser also increases, therefore we must pay particular attention to sulphur requirements on heavily stocked farms and when fertilising silage crops.
