About this Item

Neuware -India, in terms of production and area, now occupies the second place among wheat growing countries of the world. The total world wheat production is estimated at 605.9 million tonnes from 216.6 million ha during 2005-2006 to which contributed 11.4%. Sulphur is essential for synthesis of proteins, vitamins and sulphur containing essential amino acids and is also associated with nitrogen metabolism. Sulphur improves both yield and quality of crops. Sulphur deficiency in soil is the increase with intensification of agriculture. The fertilizers responsive varieties have accelerated the depletion of sulphur increases in soil, even from lower soil depth. The continuous use of sulphur free fertilizers have resulted in wide spread deficiency of sulphur in Indian soils and become more beneficial in light textured soils which low in organic matter. Information on effect of sulphur on yield, quality and uptake of nutrients under wheat crop is limited. Keeping above facts in view the present investigation was conducted to study the Effect of sulphur levels on physico-chemical properties of soil and performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.
