Sulphur Influence in Canola ProductionCanola is an oil seed rape grown for production of cooking oil and high protein feed supplement. Canola oil is considered to be healthy cooking oil that contains low saturated fats. It has less than 2% erucic acid in the oil and less than 30 micromoles per gram of glucosinolates in the oil–free meal.…
Sulphur in Corn ProductionA corn field is a huge factory capturing sunlight to manufacture glucose that is utilized with nutrients taken up by the root system to produce the end product called corn kernels. Corn is the primary grain crop produced in North America. There have been significant amount of research, management schemes, economic assessments, and production education…
Sulphur and Zinc in Rice ProductionRice is a unique crop that can grow in dryland or wetland ecosystems. Rice can grow when the soil is flooded periodically during the growing season, or when soil is submerged for duration of growing season, or as upland rice with aerated soils (Bell, 2008). Rice yields have increased significantly over the last…
