A nonmetal, sulfur is the 10th most abundant element in the universe, according to the Jefferson National Linear Accelerator Laboratory. Today, it's most common use is in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, which in turn goes into fertilizers, batteries and cleaners.
Sulfur is a plentiful element found in nature. Though less commonly known than nitrogen or iron, sulfur is a vital mineral necessary for balanced soil, plant growth and reproduction. Sold as a fertilizer, an herbicide and an insecticide, sulfur affects soil pH and, therefore, must be used with care.
