“…For the survival of humanity, wheat is one of the most important crops . Its quality and yield are dependent on the environment, fertilizer application, and the cultivated genotype. − Most varieties are cultivated for milling performance, protein contents, and baking properties . Therefore, for the achievement of potential health benefits from wheat grains, a significant improvement in wheat, growth, and quality attributes is necessary. − It has been observed that for the better economic yield of grains, crops are dependent on nutrient use efficiency …”

As macronutrients, management of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) is prime in importance when wheat is cultivated. Both have a significant impact on the improvement of growth and yield attributes. In addition, S and N also play an imperative role in the enhancement of seed protein contents. However, the need of the time is the selection of their optimum application rate for the achievement of maximum wheat productivity. That is why the current study was planned to examine the impact of variable application rates of S and N on wheat. There are 12 treatments, i.e., control (no nitrogen (0N) + no sulfur (0S)), 40 kg/ha N (40N + 0S), 80 kg/ha N (80N + 0S), 120 kg/ha N (120N + 0S), 30 kg/ha sulfur (30S), 40N + 30S, 80N + 30S, 120N + 30S, 60 kg/ha sulfur (60S), 40N + 60S, 80N + 60S, and 120N + 60S, applied in three replications. The results showed that plant height, grains/spike, spike/m 2 , and 1000 grain weight were significantly improved by the addition of 120N + 60S. A significant enhancement of grain N contents, N uptake, and protein contents of wheat validated the efficient role of 120N + 60S over 0N and 0S. In conclusion, 120N + 60S is a better treatment for the achievement of maximum wheat yield. More investigations under variable soil textures and climatic conditions are suggested under different climates to declare 120N + 60S as the best amendment for wheat growth and yield improvement.

Purpose. To determine the specifics of the productivity formation in sugar sorghum cultivated on the low fertility soils under the influence of mineral fertilizer doses and sowing dates Methods. Biological, statistical and mathematical methods were used in the study. Biological methods included field research. The obtained experimental data were processed statistically using descriptive statistics and variance analysis. The yield of biofuel and energy was determined by the calculation method. Results. On the low fertility soils in the zone of unstable moisture in the western part of the Forest Steppe, the highest yield of bioethanol (1.75 t/ha), biogas (8.6 thousand m3/ha) and solid biofuel (18.5 t/ha) was obtained when sowing seeds of ‘Medovyi F1’ hybrid in the middle of May. The application of fertilizerscontributed to a significant increase in the yield of biofuel and energy. When applying fertilizers at a dose of N80P80K80, the yield of bioethanol per 1 ha increased by 0.5 and 0.6 t/ha, biogas by 2.7 and 3.1 thousand m3/ha, solid biofuel by 4.2 and 4.8 t /ha, and energy yield by 80 and 92 GJ/ha in variety ‘Sylosne 42’ and hybrid ‘Medovyi F1’, respectively. When applying a dose of N160P160K160, the yield of bioethanol increased by 0.3 t/ha, biogas by 2.1 thousand m3/ha, solid biofuel by 3.3 t/ha, and energy yield by 61 GJ/ha. Weather conditions (51.4%), varietal characteristics (17.5%) and fertilizer doses (12.3%) had the greatest influence on energy yield per unit area of sugar sorghum crops. Conclusions. On low-fertile soils in the zone of unstable moisture, the highest yield of bioethanol (1.75 t/ha), biogas (8.6 thousand m3/ha) and solid biofuel (18.5 t/ha) was obtained by sowing seeds of the hybrid ‘Medovyi F1 in the middle of May. When applying fertilizers at a dose of N80P80K80, the yield of bioethanol increased by 0.5 and 0.6 t/ha, biogas by 2.7 and 3.1 thousand m3/ha, and solid biofuel by 4.2 and 4.8 t /ha in variety ‘Sylosne 42’ and hybrid ‘Medovyi F1’, respectively.
