The com- bined sulfur contents of vine and cover crop tissues are equivalent to 10% to 23% of the elemental sulfur applied annually. Dissolved SO 4 2- and total dissolved sulfur were measured for three years in precipitation, irrigation, soil water and leachate within the soil profile. During short (four-hour) irrigation events, SO 4 2- concentrations in leachate were low (4.5 ± 0.66 mg SO 4 2- -S per liter, but increased to 13.7 ± 2.6 mg SO 4 2- -S per liter as the soil saturated during longer (more than eight-hour) irrigation events in 2005 and 2006 (Figure 1). In every year, dormant season storms flushed accumulated SO 4 2- and organic sulfur from the soil. The elevated con- centrations were measured during storm events in all three years, with dissolved organic sulfur (total dissolved sulfur less dissolved SO 4 2- ) comprising the majority of sulfur in solution (Figure 1). During the wettest season of the study (October 2005 through May 2006), sulfur species in soil and water did not return to growing season levels until applications began the following growing season.
