Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Wheat yield responded to both sulfur and nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Sulfur increased grain sulfur concentration more at high than low nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased grain sulfur concentration at high sulfur, but not low sulfur.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased grain nitrogen concentration at all sulfur levels.
- Observation Critical grain sulfur for yield was 0.12% with adequate nitrogen.
- Observation Low-nitrogen sulfur-unresponsive plots also had grain sulfur below 0.12%.
- Observation Sulfur-responsive wheat had grain sulfur under 0.12%.
- Observation Sulfur-responsive wheat had grain N/S ratios wider than 17/1.
- Observation Glasshouse results with three cultivars were consistent with field results.
- Recommendation Authors suggest seed analysis for cereal sulfur-status diagnosis.
