In oilseed production, sulphur is a quality element and plays a remarkable role in synthesis of proteins, vitamins and chlorophyll and also sulphur containing amino acids such as cystine, cysteine and methionine which are essential components of protein. A deficiency of sulfur leads to an accumulation of amino acids, which is supposed to regulate the absorption and assimilation of nitrogen, while the processes which increase the renewal of organic sulfur, the compounds of defense against stress and answers are shields. Severe deficiency, sulfur can ultimately lead to reduced growth, which is particularly associated with a reduced epidemic rate.
