Evaluating sulphur sources in canola locations
Aims

To investigate the effectiveness of elemental sulphur in canola, what percentage of the applied sulphur can be applied as fine (less than 250 micron) elemental sulphur without loss of grain yield or oil content.

Key messages

None of these trials have given a clear sulphur (S) response irrespective of form even though some had quite low soil sulphur levels. This indicates that elemental sulphur is quite a suitable sulphur source especially where it is for maintenance sulphur requirements as appears to be the case in all of Hi Ferts trials.
