Abstract

In our country, most of the bean cultivation areas, are in the Central Anatolia Region. This study was carried out to determine the sulphureous fertilizer demand of beans grown in the calcareous soils of the region under field conditions in Konya. Early "seat bean" variety was used as a plant material. In the experiment, elemental - sulphur (S) was applied to the parcels at the doses of “0-20-40-80 kg S/da. At the end of the experiment, leaf chlorophyll SPAD values showed a significant increase in the plots where the highest sulfur dose was applied. Parcel yield and leaf surface area increased significantly with increasing sulfur doses (P<0.05), and the highest data were obtained from 80 kg S/da application. With sulfur application, the nitrogen content of bean leaves and fruit was partially decreased compared to the control (P<0.05). Some element content of the bean product was found as follows, respectively: 1.87-2.38% nitrogen (N), 0.43-0.72% phosphorus (P) and 0.39-0.44% S. Also, some element content of leaf was as follows: 1.97-2.37% N, 0.46-0.51% P and 0.50-0.59% S. The N/S ratios in the plant varied between 3.44-4.93 for the leaf and 4.79-5.60 for the bean. Considering the results obtained, 80 kg/da elemental sulfur application can be recommended to meet the sulfur fertilizer requirement for green beans grown in calcareous soil.
