Popis:	The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications to evaluate the effect of sulfur in the form of ammonium sulfate on growth, yield and quality of sugarcane. Sulfur is a deficiency common problem in such soils. Application of fertilizers was at the rate of 164 and 55 kg/ ha nitrogen in the form of urea supplemented with ammonium sulfate nitrogen dose of 164 kg/ ha and phosphorus in the form of tri-super phosphate respectively "normal practice" and 0.00, 28.00, 57.00, 86.00 and 114.00 kg S/ ha. The results showed that Sulfur had a positive impact on sugarcane yield/ha, There was a clear increase in production compared to (control) and the negative impact was on plant density and plant height. Control gave the highest yield of sugar/ ha, then 114, 28, 57 and 86 respectively. There were insignificant differences between the means of the internodes number and plant height of all treatments. The Sulfur application gave significantly different in the total soluble solids (Brix% cane) but there were insignificant differences among means of (Pol% cane, Fiber% cane, extract reduced sucrose ERSc, purity% and moisture%).
