Other claims from this paper (17)
- Association Total and sulphate sulphur fell with plant age.
- Intervention effect Supplemental nitrogen lowered total and sulphate sulphur.
- Observation Laminae had higher total sulphur than petioles.
- Observation Sulphate concentrations differed little between laminae and petioles under deficiency.
- Observation Young sulphur-sufficient plants had higher sulphate in petioles.
- Observation Older plants reversed the young-plant petiole versus lamina sulphate pattern.
- Observation Sulphate rose proportionally more than total sulphur with supply.
- Observation Both sulphur fractions changed more in petioles than laminae.
- Observation N/S ratio rose with age or supplemental nitrogen.
- Observation N/S ratio fell as sulphur supply increased.
- Observation Age-related N/S changes were smaller in laminae.
- Observation Petioles had higher N/S under sulphur deficiency.
- Observation Petioles had lower N/S when sulphur was adequate.
- Intervention effect Extra nitrogen lowered critical total and sulphate sulphur concentrations.
- Association Critical sulphur concentrations fell with plant age.
- Association Plant-part maturity had little effect on critical sulphur concentrations.
- Observation N/S ratio varied less than the other two diagnostic indices.
