Abstract: A field study was carried out to determine the influence of foliage applied plant growth promoter and retardant in improving soil applied sulphur fertilizer use efficiency in cotton during two consecutive summers 2014 and 2015. Experimental trial comprised of three different sources of sulphur (ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate and elemental sulphur) and foliar spray of plant growth promoter and growth retardant including tap water was taken as control. Among treatments soil applied ammonium sulphate with … Show more

“…The results showed that nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) act in increasing the production of yam tubers and reduce nematode infection, due to their functions in plant metabolism. As N is an essential constituent of enzymes and chlorophyll, consequently, it influenced the expansion of the leaf area (Liang et al, 2020a;Hussain et al, 2021), the photosynthetic rate and the increase in the concentration of photoassimilates in the leaves, which are later distributed to the storage organs (Coskun et al, 2017), increasing the production potential. Conversely, the action of K may be related to the activity of the starch synthase enzyme in the use of carbohydrates for starch formation (Hasanuzzaman et al, 2018).…”

“…Sulfur is needed early in the growth and development of rice plants. If it is limiting during the early growth period followed by tillering, finally, the yield will be reduced [8,9]. Ammonium salts, which are used as nitrogen fertilizers in paddy fields, also impair the establishment of seedlings in submerged soil.…”
