To establish product, rates and timings suitable to achieving the most economic return for managing sulphur deficiency.
Key messages
The addition of sulphur increased wheat grain yield at both trial sites.
Grain yield at the clay loam site was consistent for all of the sulphur rates, sources (gypsum and SoA) and application times tested
In contrast, there was variation in grain yield for the sulphur treatments tested at the sandy dune location due to the poor nutrient holding capacity of this soil type.
