Abstract: There is usually a positive yield response when sulfur (S) is applied to rapeseed (BrassicarapaL.) plants grown on S-deficient soils. Canola, being a conventional oil seed and winter season crop that is grown successfully in Pakistan. Research was conducted to study “phonological traits of canola in response to different concentrations of ammonium sulphate foliar spray†at Agronomy Res. Farm, University of Agriculture, Peshawar in season 2014-2015. The experiment consists of ammonium sulphate foliar spray concentrations (1%, 0. 2% and 0.3%) and control means water spray in randomized complete block design replicated four times. Results showed that Number of leaves and number of branches were non-significant while the rest phonological traits were affected significantly. Less days to flowering (303), Days to pod formation (350), Days to maturity (469), and more biological yield (3856 kg ha-1) and grain yield (2360 kg ha-1) were recorded for 1% foliar application of sulphur
