Solufeed ATS

A water soluble liquid sulphur (S) fertilizer with nitrogen (N) for application through drip irrigation systems. Derrived from a 60% solution of ammonium thiosulphate.

Uses

To provide a concentrated source of readily available soluble sulphur fertilizer. Also contains nitrogen.

Usually applied through drip lines with the irrigation water but can be sprayed onto the bare soil before the crop is established.

Not for application as a foliar spray. Not for application in close proximity to the roots of young transplants or to seeds.

Benefits

• Sulphur is an essential secondary fertilizer nutrient that is used in the plant primarily for the production of proteins. An adequate N:S ratio in most plants is 15:1, but for cruciferous plants like oilseed rape, market brassicas etc. it is as low as 3:1. The need to pay attention to sulphur as a fertilizer has increased in recent years because pollution controls have reduced the levels of sulphur in the atmosphere.
• The sulphur in Solufeed ATS is soluble in water and rapidly converts into the sulphate (SO₄) form which is taken up and used by plants.
• Application of sulphur to the soil has the effect of reducing the soil pH. In high pH soils this can be beneficial by making fertilizer nutrients more available to the plant.
• Solufeed ATS also contains significant amounts of nitrogen in the ammoniacal (NH₄) form.
