- Intervention effect Cultivar Glenlarge had the greatest bulb weight (~90 g) at 75 kg S ha−1 in the field trial.
- Intervention effect Cultivar Glenlarge had the greatest allicin content (521 mg bulb−1) at 75 kg S ha−1 in the field trial.
- Intervention effect Cultivar Southern Glen showed no response in bulb weight or allicin to sulfur application.
- Intervention effect In solution culture, bulb weight and allicin concentration increased with sulfur rate.
- Intervention effect Highest bulb weight (~53 g) in solution culture was at 1504 mg S plant−1 sulfur application.
- Intervention effect Highest allicin concentration (~11 mg g−1 DW) in solution culture was at 1504 mg S plant−1 sulfur application.
