Abstract

Sulphur is an essential Key macronutrient among others for plant growth, quality and crop production for many cereals. It has great role for the primary structure of proteins and functioning of enzymes, by being a constituent of the amino acids cysteine (Cys) and methionine (Met). It also important for sugar production, carbon dioxide assimilation and fixation of other nutrients in plant function. There for Sulphur fertilizer should be apply adequate amount for different crop specie. The rate of Sulphur fertilizer may vary from crop to crop and depending on the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. The N: S ratio is determined the application rate of Sulphur. This review of the literature focuses on the function, importance and management of Sulphur (S) for wheat production. These information sources are selected to assist advisers and growers to improve their understanding of S to provide the basis for improved decision making for managing S nutrition. The selected research and extension literature focuses at the basic universal principles of S nutrition provided by cornerstone journal articles and texts. Literature may be in the form of conference papers, fact sheets, and technical reports. Based on this reviewed sulphur fertilizer application is recommended for wheat production the rate of 15-20 kg/ha for nitosol and vertisol area while on saline-sodic soil 50 kg/ha is recommended.
