Influence of nitrogen on sulphur adoption of winter wheat and triticale.

Abstract

Nitrogen is the most important element for high yield and in addition affects the adoption and accumulation of certain ions in plants, including sulphur. The aim of this paper was to examine the effect of increasing quantities of nitrogen fertilizer on sulphur adoption of winter wheat and triticale and to find optimum doses of nitrogen that can give good grain quality. A two year stationery trial with increasing quantities of N (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha”) and three varieties of wheat and one of triticale was performed at the experimant field of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The grain sulphur content of the winter wheat and triticale grew with increasing doses of nitrogen fertilizers. The grain sulphur content of all cultivars responded positively to the increasing nitrogen quantities up to the rate of 100 kg ha! N in first and 150 kg ha | in second year of examination. It was determined that the genotypes responded differently to different rates of nitrogen fertilizers when it came to their sulphur contents. The present study showed that by using the right quantities of nitrogen fertilizer we can optimize the fertilization in wheat production with proper environmental care.
