Sulpher Element
Granular Sulphur 99% (50 LB) is an essential nutrient for healthy plants. Sulphur is an important mineral for boosting soil fertility and increasing plant productivity. This Granular Sulphur fertilizer helps to promote flowering and fruiting of plants and trees, and strengthens the soil. This 50 LB bag of Granular Sulphur will help to increase the acidity of the soil, making it more suitable for certain types of plants. It is an important mineral for promoting healthy plant growth and yields, and can be used in a variety of applications. This Granular Sulphur fertilizer is suitable for use in gardens, lawns, and agricultural fields, as well as in various types of hydroponic setups. With this Granular Sulphur, you can reap the rewards of healthy plants and maximum yields!
There are other fertilizer products containing some sulphate-sulphur, either in a blend or in a manufactured product. Elemental sulphur is not immediately effective for soils very deficient in sulphur, but may be a useful part of a long-term sulphur fertilizer management plan for soils low in plant-available sulphur.
Elemental sulphur fertilizers (0-0-0-90 to 99) are granular, with 90 to 99 per cent sulphur in the elemental form. Elemental sulphur cannot be directly used by plants. It must first be converted to sulphate-sulphur (SO4-2 -S) by soil microorganisms. In general, the finer the particle size and more thoroughly it has been mixed in the soil, the faster it will convert to sulphate. Broadcast applications of elemental sulphur tend to convert to plant-available sulphate more rapidly than banded applications.
When broadcast on the surface, the freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles help disperse the granules and further reduce the sulphur particle size to allow specific soil microorganisms to convert the elemental sulphur to plant-available sulphate-sulphur. The conversion of elemental sulphur to plant-available sulphate may be very slow when placed as a band in cold, dry soils. It is difficult to accurately predict the rate of conversion of elemental sulphur to plant-available sulphate as it is sensitive to a variety of soil and environmental conditions. Depending on the product, elemental sulphur should be broadcast applied about two years or more before the crop will need sulphate-sulphur to give time for the conversion to sulphate to occur. Increase in plant-available sulphate should be verified through a soil test. The slow conversion of elemental sulphur to plant-available sulphate can be an advantage. High rates of elemental sulphur can be applied once every few years to soils that require sulphur for all crops, or to long standing, high sulphur-using crops such as alfalfa and other forage crops.
