Effect of Sulphur Foliar Application on Yield and Grain Quality of Selected Malting Barley Varieties
The aim of the experiment was to assess the influence of foliar application of sulphur on grain yield, N-substances and sulphur content in the grain. The content of dimethylsulphide (DMS) and its precursors (PDMS) of malt were determined. The study was performed in the form of a small-plot field tri...
