TL;DR: A marked effect of S fertilization was observed on biomass accumulation and nutrients uptake in maize, and the optimized doses significantly increased the gas exchange characteristics and activity of antioxidant enzymes to improve yield of maize.

TL;DR: The importance of Mineral nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, zinc, and boron to crop productivity under drought and salt stress conditions is highlighted and interactive effects of mineral nutrients are also discussed and reported.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of mung beans to individual or combined SO42− and selenate application under drought stress was investigated, and the results indicated that S and Se application potentially increased the nutritional quality of grain legumes by stimulating photosynthetic apparatus and antioxidative machinery under water deficit conditions.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses recent studies on effects of S fertilizers on growth and yield of major cereals, legumes, and oilseeds and discusses current state of knowledge on S-mediated physiological and biochemical alterations in food crops.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on understanding competitive interactions between plant nutrients and selenium (Se) are summarized and a better understanding of Se interaction with other elements would extend our knowledge about the biological significance of Se in plant growth.
