Abstract
To investigate the effects of combined application formula, zinc, and sulfur fertilizers on yield and grain quality of wheat, two field experiments were performed in the Xi'erpu and Huting villages, the main growing areas of winter wheat in the Anhui Province. The experiments included usual farmer's practices, application of different formula fertilizers, and application of combined formula, zinc, and sulfur fertilizers. The results showed that compared with the farmer's usual practices, the use of formula fertilizers significantly increased wheat yield, and the combined application of zinc and sulfur fertilizers provided the highest yield. Therefore, the economic benefit of wheat was the highest under the treatment with combined formula, zinc, and sulfur fertilizers. Similarly, compared with the farmer's usual practices, applying this combination of formula, zinc, and sulfur fertilizer increased the partial productivity of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in wheat on average by 35.0%, 107.0%, and 99.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, the content of zinc and the accumulation of zinc and sulfur in the wheat grain increased upon use of zinc, sulfur, and formula fertilizers. However, they had no obvious effect on sulfur content, protein and its components content, and starch and its components content in the grains. However, the glutenin to gliadin ratio had a general increasing trend, and amylase to amylopectin ratio had a general decreasing trend under the treatment of combined zinc, sulfur, and formula fertilizers compared with farmer's usual practices. The results suggested that the wheat quality increased with the application of zinc and sulfur fertilizers. Therefore, in areas with low soil zinc and sulfur content, the combined application of formula, zinc, and sulfur fertilizers could improve the wheat grain yield and quality.
