Abstract
Due to the high lime and pH in the soil, sulfur and micro element deficiencies are observed in green vegetable plants. Rocket, one of the green vegetables and a member of the Brassicaceae family, is widely produced in our country. It is noteworthy that rocket is grown by producers almost everywhere and that this plant grown in our region also has a deficiency of microelements. For this reason, in this study were investigated that the sulfur and manganese requirement of rocket, which is one of the vegetable plants grown in Konya calcareous soil, and the effect of the interaction between these two elements on plant growth and yield. In our study, sulfur (S) fertilizer was applied in three doses (0- 40- 80 kg S da-1) and manganese (Mn) fertilizer in three doses (0- 1- 2 kg Mn da-1) was applied to the rocket plant. The experiment was carried out in the greenhouse conditions according to the randomized plots factorial design. At the end of the experiment, the average leaf height, chlorophyll SPAD value, plant fresh weight, plant height and plant Mn concentration did not differ with different doses of fertilizer applications in the rocket plant. On the other hand, the sulfur concentration in the plant and soil increased significantly with sulfur fertilization (p
