Additions of 40, 80, and 120 lb/A of sulfur as gypsum to Sequatchie silt loam soil in the field did not significantly affect seed yield or percent sulfur, nitrogen, methionine, and cystine in the seed of D68-127, Harosoy, and Tracy strains of soybeans. The results indicate that the soybean varieties used in this study do not differ in their synthesis of methionine and cystine from given levels of sulfur in the soil. The quality of soybean seed protein was not greatly altered through increases in the S-containing amino acids methionine and cystine by additions of sulfur to the soil.
