SULPHUR GRANULES

Elemental sulfur in granular form providing sustained, long-lasting sulfur nutrition. It gradually oxidizes to the sulfate form in the soil, improving overall soil health and reducing soil pH, which is particularly beneficial for alkaline soils.

Product Information

Mode of Action

Microbial Oxidation: Elemental sulfur is not directly available to plants. These granules must be converted (oxidized) into the sulfate form (SO₄²⁻) by specific soil microorganisms, primarily Thiobacillus bacteria. This process is gradual, providing a sustained release of sulfur over 3-4 months.

Nutritional Role: Once converted to sulfate, sulfur is essential for synthesizing crucial amino acids (cysteine, methionine), proteins, enzymes, vitamins, and chlorophyll. It is vital for oil synthesis in oilseed crops.

Soil Acidification: The oxidation process releases hydrogen ions, gradually lowering the pH of alkaline soils. This acidification unlocks fixed nutrients like phosphorus, zinc, and iron, making them available for plant uptake.

Key Benefits
  • Provides a long-lasting sulfur supply for 3-4 months.
  • Significantly improves oil content and quality in oilseed crops.
  • Enhances protein synthesis in pulses and other crops.
  • Gradually reduces soil pH in alkaline and calcareous soils.
  • Increases the availability of locked-up phosphorus and micronutrients like zinc and iron.
  • Improves overall crop quality and marketability.

General Dosage Recommendations

*Note: Specific dosage data was not provided in the input. The table below contains general recommendations for elemental sulphur granules. Always consult local soil test results and agronomist advice.

Application Method Crop Types General Dosage (kg/acre)
Basal Soil Application Oilseeds (Mustard, Groundnut, Soybean) 10 – 20 kg
Basal Soil Application Pulses, Vegetables 10 – 15 kg
Basal Soil Application Sugarcane, Fruits 15 – 25 kg

Directions for Use

1. Timing is Key
Because elemental sulfur requires time for microbial oxidation to become plant-available, it must be applied as a basal dose during land preparation before planting. Do not use for immediate deficiency correction in standing crops.
2. Application Method
Broadcast uniformly over the field and incorporate it into the top few inches of soil during ploughing or harrowing. Soil moisture and warm temperatures are necessary for the microbial oxidation process to begin.
3. Soil Suitability
Ideally suited for neutral to alkaline soils to lower pH and improve nutrient availability. Use with caution on highly acidic soils.

Safety & Storage

Fire Hazard: Elemental sulfur is flammable. Keep away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources. Do not smoke nearby.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials (oxidizing agents). Keep containers tightly sealed.

Safety: Wear gloves and eye protection. Avoid breathing dust. Wash thoroughly after handling.
