Growth and sulphur relations of corn, sunflower and rapeseed were studied in greenhouse in.solution culture containing 0 and 1 mM S. Growth of the three plant species was affected with characteristic S deficiency symptoms when grown without S supply. However, with the addition of 1 mM S in the root medium, corn produced maximum biomass in three weeks of growth period followed by sunflower and rapeseed. With S deficiency, tissue water (shoot and root) decreased drastically. Growth of shoot in the three plant species was more compared with root with 1 mM S in the rooting medium. Higher concentration in plant tissues as well as higher rates of S transport from root to shoot and specific S absorption rates were observed in sunflower and corn.
