A study was made of the influence of sulphur on the nitrogen metabolismof subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) and the non-legUmes oats(Avena sativa L.), Hax and linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), andPaspalumdilatatum Poir. All these species responded to fertilizers containing sulphur onthe three soils used. Sulphates of aJl1lIlonium, potassium, sodium, and manganesewere all effective.
