AMMONIUM SULPHATE
A dual-nutrient fertilizer containing 21% nitrogen and 24% sulfur. It provides quick-acting, readily available nitrogen for rapid vegetative growth and essential sulfur for protein synthesis. Its acidifying effect is particularly beneficial for improving nutrient availability in alkaline soils.
Product Information
Nitrogen Supply: The ammonium form of nitrogen is readily absorbed by plant roots and quickly converted into amino acids and proteins, driving rapid vegetative growth.
Sulfur Essentials: Sulfur is a critical component for synthesizing essential amino acids (cysteine, methionine), proteins, vitamins, and enzymes. It is vital for oil synthesis in oilseed crops.
Soil Acidification: Upon application, ammonium sulphate releases hydrogen ions, gradually reducing soil pH. This acidifying effect helps unlock micronutrients fixed in alkaline soils, making them available to plants.
- Dual nutrient source providing high percentages of both Nitrogen (21%) and Sulfur (24%).
- Provides quick-acting nitrogen for rapid initial growth boost.
- Improves overall protein quality in grain crops.
- Significantly enhances oil content in oilseed crops like mustard and canola.
- Acidifies alkaline soils, improving the availability of other essential nutrients (like iron and zinc).
