Summary and conclusions

A review of the literature gave conflicting evidence as to the effect of sulphites on plant growth, so that a pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effects of the addition to ammonium sulphate of varying amounts of ammonium sulphite on the germination, growth and yield of mustard and rye on a heavy loam soil.

Under the conditions of the experiment described, ammonium sulphite had no adverse effect on the germination, growth and yield of dry matter of mustard or rye.
