Within a three-year cycle of field experiments, the options of applying ammonium sulfate in two forms – granulated and aqueous solution – were considered and analyzed for two adaptive hybrids of winter rapeseed. The focus was on optimizing plant sulfur nutrition alongside assessing the effectiveness of such supply in terms of creating favorable conditions for overwintering and forming the main yield-determining traits of crop productivity. Two possible optimal and feasible application options of ammonium sulfate for cultivating high-intensity winter rapeseed hybrids on grey forestal soils were established with the aim of maximizing yield potential realization and maintaining product quality. The first involves fractional application of ammonium sulfate both in autumn and spring in the form of aqueous solutions with concentrations of 1.67–2.85 % during the critical stages of growth, development, and hardening of winter rapeseed plants, at sulfur doses of S6–12 kg/ha of active substance (equivalent to nitrogen at an S/N ratio in the fertilizer of 1.14, N5–10), with a total seasonal application rate of S40. The second option implies the use of ammonium sulfate in its classical form, with at least 30 % applied before sowing tillage, and the remainder at the beginning of vegetation renewal, with a total sulfur application rate of up to 70 kg/ha of active substance.
