      abstract     = {Although sulfur is an essential macronutrient for plants,
                      its supply through elemental S0 is not efficient, demanding
                      its oxidation by soil microbiota before plant uptake. Thus,
                      we demonstrate that a simple reactive mechanochemical route,
                      using anhydrous KOH as a reactant with no need for water
                      addition, can convert S0 to bio-absorbable oxidized forms,
                      leading the residual K+ a plant nutrient in the final
                      composition. The powdery products obtained by 1 h (S-1h) or
                      8 h (S-8h) milling have been fully converted to HSO3-,
                      SO32-, and SO42-, also suggesting different amounts of these
                      sulfur oxides according to the milling. S-1h and S-8h were
                      efficient for S and K fertilization, probed on the
                      successful growing of the forage crop Brachiaria ssp. in a
                      greenhouse trial, with similar biomass yields observed for
                      K2SO4 (positive control) and superior to S0 + KCl (negative
                      control). These data suggest that the mechanochemical
                      process provides a sustainable route to increase sulfur
                      plant bioavailability, suggesting a simple alternative that
                      can be easily implemented in forage plant production sites
                      such as Brachiaria ssp.},
