The combined effect of sulfur at 0,200,400,600,and 800 kg fed-1, and organic manure at 0,10,20,30,40 m3 fed-1 was elucidated in a sandy soil cultivated with wheat plant in a field experiment. Most of wheat growth characters were positively affected by sulfur and organic manure application. The maximum grain yield, plant height, spike grains weight, 1000 grain weight, plant dry weight, spike length, and NPK uptake were attained at the highest rate of sulfur and organic manure application. Pronounced effects on soil hydrophysical properties were detected, the maximum of saturation point, field capacity, wilting point, quickly drainable pores, water holding pores, and available water was attained at the maximum rate of sulfur and organic manure application. Whereas a slight depression in soil pH was obtained at the maximum rate of sulfur and organic manure application.
