Afield experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of Sulphur fertilizer rates on yield, quality and uptake of bread wheat on Vertic Luvisols. The treatments applied as one factor of six levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 kg S ha-1). The experiment was carried out at the Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center on clay textured soil under rainfed condition. The analysis of variance for the results of the study revealed among yield and Quality variables of wheat; Thousand Grains Weight, Grain protein content and wet Gluten were significantly (p < 0.05) affected by rates of S. In addition to Grain yield and Hectoliter Weight were highly significant (p < 0.01) by rates of S. Average over S treatments, each S level brought about significant increase in grain yield and protein over no S. Accordingly, 60 kg S ha-1 further increased yields significantly over control (no N), followed by 40, 20, kg S ha-1. Application of 60 kg S/ha increased the grain yield of wheat by 12.64%, 11.39%, 6.44% and 2.52% respectively when compared with the no S application and 60 kg/ha of S increased protein contents of wheat by 2.94%, 1.77%, 1.42% and 1.36% respectively when compared with the no S application. While, partial budget analysis result revealed that, 20kg/ha of Sulphur produced the highest MMR (13.3%) and thus, 20 kg/ha S is found to be economically feasible treatment for bread wheat production in study area of the district.
