Popis: Canola has a high sulfur requirement during vegetative growth and exhibits symptoms of sulfur deficiency when grown on Saskatchewan soils low in plant available sulfur. Elemental sulfur is frequently used as a fertilizer to alleviate sulfur deficiency in soils. The oxidation of elemental sulfur to plant available sulfate is primarily a heterotrophic microbial process in Saskatchewan soils. Inoculation of canola with rhizobacteria has resulted in increased yields of canola. The aim of this study was to determine the potential of sulfur oxidizing microorganisms isolated from the canola rhizosphere to enhance canola growth through increased sulfur uptake.
