    Notes: Abstract Sulphur deficiency has become increasingly widespread in wheat in the U.K. Growth, nutrient content and biochemical responses to S and N supply of a breadmaking wheat variety (Hereward) and a non-breadmaking variety (Riband) were investigated in a pot experiment. Shoot dry matter (DM) at stem extension (Zadok's GS 37) and at maturity was increased markedly by S. Grain production of the Riband variety was more susceptible to the imbalance of N to S than the Hereward variety. At GS 37, the concentrations of total S and sulphate-S of shoots, chlorophyll meter readings and the concentrations of glutathione of the uppermost fully expanded leaves were increased significantly by increasing S supply, whereas the concentrations of nitrate and amides were decreased by S. The greatest relative changes in response to S supply were those of the glutathione and asparagine concentrations. Riband also showed greater response to S than Hereward. Critical values of various diagnostic indices at GS 37 were derived from the relationships between DM yield and different indices. The two varieties showed similar diagnostic curves except that for the ratio of total N to total S (N:S) in shoots. Either total S or sulphate-S can be used alone as a good indicator of deficiency, and with values of 1500 and 190 mg kg-1 DM in shoots for the two indices respectively. There was also a well defined relationship between DM yield and the glutathione concentration, with a critical value of 240 nmol g-1 FW. There were no advantages of using % of total S as sulphate-S. Shoot N:S ratio was found to be less accurate in predicting S deficiency than total S or sulphate-S. For prognostic purposes, a much higher S status at GS 37 was required to ensure no losses of DM yield due to S deficiency at maturity.

    Notes: Abstract Ten soils collected from the major arable areas in Britain were used to assess the availability of soil sulphur (S) to spring wheat in a pot experiment. Soils were extracted with various reagents and the extractable inorganic SO4-S and total soluble S(SO4-S plus a fraction of organic S) were determined using ion chromatography (IC) or inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), respectively. Water, 0.016 M KH2PO4, 0.01 M CaCl2 and 0.01 M Ca(H2PO4)2 extracted similar amounts of SO4-S, as measured by IC, which were consistently smaller than the total extractable S as measured by ICP-AES. The amounts of organic S extracted varied widely between different extractants, with 0.5 M NaHCO3 (pH 8.5) giving the largest amounts and 0.01 M CaCl2 the least. Organic S accounted for approximately 30–60% of total S extracted with 0.016 M KH2PO4 and the organic C:S ratios in this extract varied typically between 50 and 70. The concentrations of this S fraction decreased in all soils without added S after two months growth of spring wheat, indicating a release of organic S through mineralisation. All methods tested except 0.5 M NaHCO3-ICP-AES produced satisfactory results in the regression with plant dry matter response and S uptake in the pot experiment. In general, 0.016 M KH2PO4 appeared to be the best extractant and this extraction followed by ICP-AES determination was considered to be a good method to standardise on.
