Abstract: Sulphur is one of the essential elements of tea plant and regarded as the fourth key element next to NPK. With the decreasing in the application of the traditional S-bearing fertilizers and pesticides, and the control of SO2 pollution in atmosphere in recent years, the S deficiency in tea plant is obviously increased. S application has being become one of the key factors in the Integrated Nutrition Management System in tea garden. This paper reviews the different aspects of S nutrition of tea, especially the S content in tea plant, the S absorption and utilization by tea plant, the availability and distribution of S in the soil and their affecting factors, the S deficiency in tea plant and its diagnosis, the effects of S application on yield and quality of tea, S balance in tea garden and S application technique. And finally the future research activities on S nutrition in tea are outlined.
