Title Of Article :
Determination Of Sulphur Fractions Of Soils In Wheat Growing Areas In Different Regions
Abstract :
In recent years, sulphur (S) deficiency has been reported to be widespread in agricultural production areas. Sulphur deficiency in plants has been shown to be related with S fractions in soils. There have been few studies determining S fractions of soils in wheat growing areas. With this aim, 250 soil samples both from surface (0-20 cm) and subsurface (20-40 cm) of a total of 500 were collected from wheat growing areas in Central Anatolia, GAP and Çukurova Regions. In these samples, total S, inorganic-S (as adsorbed and soluble forms), organic-S and soil pH and organic matter were determined. According to the obtained results, it has been determined that the soils in Central Anatolia Region had the highest mean value for total S concentration in soil (240.3 and 243.6 mg kg-1 in surface and subsurface, respectively) and followed this by GAP (157.1 and 169.9 mg kg-1 in surface and subsurface, respectively) and Çukurova (146.9 and 142.1 mg kg-1 in surface and subsurface, respectively) Region soils, respectively. Organic S concentrations were also found to follow a similar sequence whereas the concentration of inorganic S (adsorbed and soluble S) were found to be highest in the GAP region. Additionally, soil organic matter and partly soil pH was found to affect plant available S concentration.
