Abstract

The experiment was carried out in factorial form and unbalanced randomized complete block design with three replications under greenhouse conditions at Soil and Water Research Institute. The variables included three types of soil sample (Sarvestan district (Fars Province), Darin Mianeh (East Azerbaijan Province) and Esfarayen desert (North Khorasan Province)) and sulfur levels (0, 1000 and 5000 kg/ha). Each soil sample was treated with different proportions of thiobacillus bacteria and the seeds of Alvand cultivar (the best cultivar of wheat) were planted in each rhizobox (Root Box). The results indicated that sulfur application had significant effect not only on adjusting the amount of soil pH (P<0.01) but also on the amount of sulfate and shoot dry weight (α≤0.05). The maximum shoot dry weight and the minimum root dry weight of the plant belonged to the soil of Esferayen desert. By sulfur increasing, no significant change was observed in the shoot sulfur amount in the soil of Dari
