Sulfate-Sulfur Concentration as an Indicator of Sulfur Status in Various California Dryland Pasture Species
1964
Jones, Milton B. | Martin, Bill (W. E.)
Sulfate-sulfur values in subclover and soft chess under high N fertilizer were approximately equal over a wide range of S fertilizer levels. With no fertilizer N the SO₄-S values of annual grasses including soft chess were higher than those of rose or subclover. Hardinggrass was particularly high in SO₄-S. Where no N was applied the SO₄-S concentration in subclover decreased as the plants advanced from early vegetative to flowering stage. When plants began to wilt at the end of the season, the SO₄-S values increased over SO₄-S levels at flowering. Subclover and rose clover, sampled during the flowering period but before wilting, appeared to be the best plants for determining the S status of dryland pastures in California.
