English Abstract

Field experiment conducted in 2014-2015, at Sonning farm, university of Reading, UK, to investigate the effect of sulphur fertilizer on quality and quantity of wheat that infected by Zymoseptoria tritici (Desm.) (Quaedvlieg et al., 2011) and Parastagnospora nodorum (Berk.) Quaedvlieg, Verkley & Crous (Quaedvlieg et al., 2013).

Results showed that sulphur fertilizer increased the yield of wheat by 44.18%.

Furthermore, sulphur improved the quality of wheat which increase the Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (S.D.S) and S (24.3%, 30% respectively).

While thousand grain weight (T.G.W), N% and N/S ratio decreased by sulphur fertilizer by (7.8%, 9.5% and 44% respectively).

On the other hand, yield, T.G.W and specific weight were decreased in plot that infected by P.

nodorum by (16.7, 6.8% and 2% respectively)
