The Effect of Elemantel Sulfur Fertilization on Green Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Grown in Lime Soil

Abstract

In our country, most of the bean cultivation areas, are in the Central Anatolia Region. This study, which was carried out to determine the sulphurous fertilizer demand of beans grown in the calcareous soils of the region, was carried out under field conditions in Konya. Early "seat bean" variety was used as plant material. In the experiment, elemental - sulphur(S) was applied to the parcels at the doses of “0-20-40-80 kg S/da. At the end of the experiment, leaf chlorophyll SPAD values showed a significant increase in the plots where the highest sulfur dose was applied. Parcel yield and leaf surface area increased significantly with increasing sulfur doses (p
