SULPHUR 90% GRANULES

Sulphur 90% Granules, from Sulphur Mills, is a patented, low-dose sulphur fertiliser containing thousands of microgranules. The micronized sulphur is formulated with dispersant which starts the oxidation process, producing plant-available sulphate from day one.

How are Sulphur 90% granules made available to the plant immediately?

A key feature of the Sulphur Mills products is patented technologies - micronization of elemental sulphur into ideal particle size, small enough to promote oxidisation to sulphate across the crop cycle. The oxidation process of Sulphur 90% Granules depends not only on environmental factors but also on the unique way the product is formulated. These two key processes combine for efficient oxidation.

Dispersion

Effective dispersion occurs due to the fine microgranule particle which increases its surface area and soil distribution.

Oxidation

Oxidation occurs where soil bacteria consume the fine sulphur particles, thus producing plant-available sulphate. This maximises the availability of sulphur to the crop, and the speed of oxidation minimises the leaching that is typically associated with sulphate fertilisers.

Why is sulphur important to crops?

It increases crop yield and plant growth
Sulphur helps to increase plant growth when applied through soil. Plants use sulphur in the process of producing proteins, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins.

Improves quality across crops
Sulphur improves cereal quality for milling and baking as well as the quality of wheat, sugar beet, peas, beans and maize crops. It improves protein and oil percentage in seeds.

Synthesis of oils
Sulphur is involved in the formation of glycosides and glucosinolates (mustard). With the use of sulphur in other oil seed crops it has been observed that there is an increase in oil content of 4 to 5%

Reduces pH level of alkaline soil
Sulphur is used to correct alkalinity in soil. It is used in organic farming to keep soil fertile.

Enhances Chlorophyll productions in plants
Without sufficient sulphur, a plant shows a yellow leaf colour due to the low chlorophyll production. Plants produce starch, sugars, oils, fats, vitamins and other vital compounds through photosynthesis.

Protein production
Sulphur in sulphate form is essential for protein production, primarily because it is made up of three essential amino acids which are building blocks of proteins.
