Abstract
Two hybrids of maize (Zea mays L.) with different responses to sulfur fertilizers were used in this study. Under different nutritional conditions in pool experiment, the effect of nitrogen and sulfur interaction on grain quality of maize was evaluated. The results indicated that the indexes of grain quality, including the content of protein, amino acid, soluble sugar, crud fat, oil as well as N, P, K, S and microelements in grain were improved when using nitrogen and sulfur fertilizer, but the influences of nitrogen and sulfur were not the same. It was also found that the content of starch was increased by nitrogen and decreased by sulfur, but both of them improved the percent of amylopectin in starch. Sulfur fertilizer improved grain quality of maize very signi ficantly when nitrogen was increased. The responses of two hybrids to these treatments were parallel.
