Abstract

This paper examines the effect of sulphur on yield and quality of oilseed Brassica spp. Sulphur is a crucial nutrient for rapeseed since it is linked to productivity and a number of quality characteristics. It is necessary for the production of protein along with nitrogen and contains considerably higher sulfur-containing amino acids in rapeseed than in other crop plants. Brassicas also need sulphur in order to produce the sulfur-containing chemicals called glucosinolates. Rapeseed has a higher sulphur requirement than other crops, with 20-30 kg S ha-1 removed in the seed, whereas cereals remove only 5-15 kg ha-1. As a result, oilseed rape is especially vulnerable to sulphur shortages. Sulphur is required for the production of chlorophyll within the plant, and deficiency symptoms begin with a slight paling of the leaves and progress to interveinal chlorosis.
