Sulphate Sulphur v's Elemental Sulphur If you apply fertiliser at the time of planting of spring-seeded crops, SO4 fertilisers usually give better results. This is especially true if conditions are such that So oxidation rates are depressed in cool temperatures or in excessive moisture. In starter or row fertilisers, SO4 forms of Sulphur generally give
Why Use Sulphur Bentonite? Pacific Fertiliser Sulphur Bentonite is 90% pure elemental sulphur. It provides a high quality soluble sulphur source for plants and therefore can have the following advantages over other forms of sulphur fertilisers: High nutrient efficiency: • Slow release, providing sulphate sulphur for the entire crop season. • High analysis, allowing
General Conversion table for Sulphur in agricultural products S to SO4 - multiply by 3 S to SO3 - multiply by 2.5 (AnS in Germany known as 26N 24%S vs 26N 60SO3 here) SO4 to S - divide by 3 SO3 to S - divide by 2.5
Agricultural production removes plant nutrients; therefore, these must be replaced to sustain production. Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are perhaps the two nutrients of greater importance because Australian soils are inherently low in these elements. In the case of P, reactive phosphate rock (RPR) is the most practical fertiliser to replace P in broad-acre organic
Pacific Fertiliser can blend elemental sulphur (or sulphur bentonite) in with most of its products including phosphate rock and gypsum. Benefits of Sulphur: • Sulphur is known to improve the metabolism of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. • Elemental sulphur can be used where sulphur deficiency in soils is known to exist. • Application of sulphate
