“…Our results are consistent with earlier soybean S trials conducted by Ham et al (1975) in Minnesota, by Brown et al (1981) in Missouri, Matheny et al (1981) in South Carolina, Klausner et al (1982Klausner et al ( , 1984 in New York, Chandel et al (1989) in Argentina, and Sweeney et al (1993) in Kansas. In all these studies conducted in the late 1970s to mid-1990s, researchers concluded that the availability of S in the untreated control plots was adequate for optimum yields and that there was no need for S fertilization.…”

Impact of sulfur application on soybean yield and quality in New York

Sulfur (S) fertilizer is not widely used for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production in the northeastern United States but decreased atmospheric S deposition rates warrant evaluation of S needs for soybean in the region. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of S fertilizers [CaSO 4 and (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 at 168 kg S ha -1 ] on soybean grain yield, crude protein (CP), S content, N/S ratio, and crop S balances. Thirteen on-farm trials were conducted in New York in 2017-2019 using a randomized complete block design in three to six replications. Tissue analysis at early bloom and full maturity did not suggest an S limitation; N/S ratios were between 14:1 and 18:1 and tissue S at early bloom ranged from 3.10 to 4.36 g kg -1 . These findings were consistent with the lack of increase in grain yield with S addition, independent of S source. Addition of S did not change seed CP or S concentration although, averaged across trials, the whole plant S content at maturity was slightly higher when S had been applied. Negative partial balances (crop removal -S deposition) showed considerable soil contribution to S uptake. Soil organic matter (SOM), however, was not a good indicator of soil S supply. Due to lack of a response to S, critical soil test S levels could not be determined. We conclude S is not limiting soybean grain yield currently. Continued monitoring is needed as partial balances suggest S may become deficient over time.

“…Ham et al [23] studied the effect of S fertilizer on seed protein and fatty acids and reported no effect of S on these two seed components. Similar results were observed for protein and oil measured in soybeans grown with different S fertilizer rates in Missouri [24], Kansas [25] and Iowa [26], and increasing levels of macronutrients N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in soybeans grown in hydroponic conditions [27].…”

Maximizing the expression of seed quality traits by understanding how they are affected by environmental variables may help develop high quality nutritious soybeans. Eight specialty soybean breeding lines were grown at two Arkansas locations differing by soil texture, with three replications in 2011. Before the reproductive period, soil and leaf samples were collected from each plot. Soil samples were analyzed for particle size distribution, electrical conductivity, pH, and a set of extractable nutrients from the top 12.5 cm, while leaf samples were analyzed for the same set of nutrients as the soil samples. At maturity, seed samples were analyzed for the same set of nutrients as were leaf and soil samples, plus protein, oil, fatty acids, and sugars. All leaf elements were within the adequate levels for soybean production at both locations. Overall, seed composition of breeding lines did not differ among locations and no significant changes in breeding line ranking among locations were observed. Attempting to modify seed composition by nutrient fertilization may not be profitable, as no direct relationships were observed between leaf or soil chemical properties, and seed composition. These findings may provide a starting point for future studies on fertilization and management practices that improve soybean seed quality.

UMI GENERAL INTRODUCTION Dissertation OrganizationA discussion of results obtained from studies conducted on soybean sulfur metabolism is presented here as two manuscripts for the eventual submission for publication in Crop Science. A general introduction precedes these manuscripts giving a broad overview of plant sulfur metabolism, sulfur transpon, and soybean seed protein accumulation. A general conclusion chapter follows, summarizing findings of the two studies presented here.References cited in this dissertation are coalesced and listed at the end of the dissertation.The first manuscript paper discusses the distribution and mobilization of sulfur acquired by soybean during seed development, while the second takes up nitrogen and sulfur stress effects on mobilization of sulfur to developing soybean seed. RationaleSoybean seed is an important source of dietary protein for livestock and humans;however, soybean seed protein itself contains low, potentially growth-limiting concentrations of the sulfur-containing amino acids, methionine (met) and cysteine (cys), when used as the sole protein source for monogastric mammals. Methionine and cys are considered "essential amino acids" indicating that they cannot be synthesized de novo by monogastric mammals (Food and Agricultural Organization and World Health Organization, 1989). Methionine is the primary essential amino acid that is deficient in legume proteins (DeLumen et al., 1997), and soybean seed proteins contain about half of the met found in FAO's (Food and 2 Agricultural Organization) egg protein standard (Burton et al., 1982). This limitation reveals itself in high protein rations when the majority of the ingested protein is derived from soybean....
