Tomato (L. esculentum Mill. var. hybrid 6C-204) plants were grown for 95 days after germination until each one bore 6 ripe clusters in a greenhouse using nutrient solutions with 9 added sulfate levels ranging 0-105 meg/l. S deficiency symptoms and characteristics of plants growing under high SO4-S levels were observed and described. Fruit yields were negatively affected by both S-deficiency and high SO4-S concentrations. Top growth was affected more than root growth by changes in the amount of SO4-S supplied. The critical SO4-S concentration in the growth media ranged 2-22.5 meq/l. Leaf sulfate-S increased gradually in leaves and roots as SO4-S supply in the nutrient solution increased while organic-S remained relatively constant. Leaf sulfate-S critical value was growth stage dependent. Maximum yields at flowering were associated with leaf concentrations of 0.48-1.2% SO4-S and 0.25-0.35% organic-S.
