Sulphur deficiency-Wheat

Symptoms
The number of grains sites and the size of grain is reduced under S deficiency. S deficient plants show a bright chlorotic, yellow green colour and stunted growth. Chlorosis caused by sulphur deficiency is observed at the young leaves first.

Reasons
Sulphur deficiency N deficiency and root damage may cause similar symptoms.

Symptoms
S deficient plants show a bright chlorotic, yellow green colour and stunted growth. Chlorosis caused by sulfur deficiency can often be observed at the young leaves first - in contrast to deficiency symptoms caused by a lack of nitrogen. The number of grains sites and the size of grain is reduced under S deficiency.

Reasons
Sulphur deficiency (right) N deficiency and root damage may cause similar symptoms. Symptoms of N and S deficiency in wheat and other small grains are very similar, thus a tissue analysis is often necessary to reveal the cause.

Symptoms
Leaves of S deficient plants exhibit a bright yellow-green chlorotic colour. Chlorosis normally starts on the young leaves. The whole plant including the ears shows stunted growth and yields poorly.

Reasons
Sulphur deficiency Symptoms of N and S deficiency in cereals are very similar, thus a tissue analysis is often necessary to reveal the cause.
