Response of wheat to sulfur fertilization

Abstract
Coker 7473 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was grown on Keo silt loam (coarse-silty, mixed, thermic Dystric Fluventic Entrochrepts) with four S sources applied at various rates for two years. The innate S level of this soil was not adequate for optimum grain yield; therefore, additional S significantly increased grain yield and S concentration and decreased N/S ratios in wheat tissue. Minimum S concentration and N/S ratios in plant tissue for maximum yield ranged from 1.3 to 2.73 g S/kg and 9.5 to 19.2, respectively.
