- Intervention effect Foliar sulfur at 20 kg ha -1 gave maximum leaf sulfate concentration of 0.370 %.
- Intervention effect Sulfur application significantly affected nitrogen uptake.
- Intervention effect Sulfur application significantly affected phosphorus uptake.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen uptake increased through 60 kg ha -1 sulfur, then plateaued and declined at higher rates.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus uptake increased through 60 kg ha -1 sulfur then decreased drastically above it.
- Intervention effect Sulfur had no significant effect on potassium uptake.
- Intervention effect Postharvest soil sulfate sulfur was highest where soil sulfur was applied at 100 kg ha -1.
- Intervention effect Foliar sulfur had little effect on postharvest soil sulfur.
- Intervention effect Foliar sulfur at 20 kg ha -1 gave maximum grain yield of 3237 kg ha -1.
