SULFUR AVAILABILITY INDEX (SAI)
= Sum of available S inputs:
• Organic matter – 2.8 lb S/a for 1% OM
• S in rain & snow – 10 or 20 lb S/a
• S in subsoil 5, 10, or 20 lb S/a
• S in manure – depends on rate, kind
• Soil sulfate-S test

SAI Interpretation:
• < 30 = Apply S to S-demanding crops
• 30-40 = Confirm S need by plant analysis
• > 40 = No additional S needed
