BENEFITS OF AMMONIUM SULPHATE IN CONVENTIONAL ...

In the article we published on our website we mentioned that Ammonium Sulphate is one of the most practical nitrogen fertilisers to use.

It is an industrial component that, in addition to agriculture, is also used as a flocculant, which is a substance that induces the combination or aggregation of solid particles in suspension.
The flocculation process involves destabilising colloidal particles by adding the flocculant.

It also has all these industrial applications:

• Acid solution purifier.
• Glyphosate enhancer.
• Flame retardant.
• Food additive.
• Protein purification through fractional precipitation.

Advantages for conventional agriculture

As regards conventional agriculture, ammonium sulphate has the following benefits:

1. Improves the organic content of the soil: ammonium sulphate provides a quantity of nitrogen in the form of nitrate, which improves the physical and chemical properties of the soil.
2. It favours the assimilation of nutrients by plants, as it helps to improve the availability of nutrients for plant development, improving their growth and production.
3. Increases drought tolerance: Ammonium sulphate increases the crop’s resistance to lack of moisture, due to its strong bactericidal and fungicidal properties.
4. Reduces the cost of foliar applications and improves the strength of growing plants.
5. Improves food quality, accelerating stem development and improving the appearance and taste of agricultural produce
6. Reduces pest damage lowering the incidence of pests by facilitating the absorption of the nutrients available in the soil.

Ammonium sulphate as a fertilizer

You already know that as a fertilizer:

• It provides an optimal nutritional source, which is very easy to mix and use.
• In hydroponic crops, its use is limited to a maximum of 15–20% of the total fraction of nitrogen, the remaining being nitric nitrogen.
• Its production process is based on synthetic transformations and is therefore not covered by European organic farming regulations.

The form of Ammonium is quickly assimilated by each crop, although in large volumes it can become phytotoxic to the plant.

In addition, we remind you that there are three ways to apply it: superficial, which is distributed superficially by broadcasting and side dressing, by irrigation water, where its high solubility allows it to be used for fertigation and underground, which is applied in bands next to or under the seeds.

Little River, TXAdvantage is ammonia is a cation, and will be tied up by clay and organic matter, to become a slow release fertilizer.

Possible advantage or disadvantage is the sulfur will make many micronutrients more available. That was a disadvantage here in our high pH high CLAY content soils. It made the copper much more available and eventually the soil became deficient in copper. The cattle grazing these pastures were also deficient in copper. So those with those pastures now use a mineral supplement with copper.

Another advantage here but possible disadvantage is it has a slight lowering of pH. With our 8 pH that is considered good. Use enough and the pH may drop to 7.9. It will combine with the calcium to form Calcium Sulfate, (which is gypsum ). A material that a few years ago was touted as a miracle substance that cures everything including bad breath.

The major disadvantage is cost per unit of nitrogen. The fertilizer has to be almost free at the source to make up for shipping cost, per unit of Nitrogen, if there is much distance involved. At one time it was almost free, HERE. We are not that far from the refining industry and it was a waste by product. Was that is.

The key is for you to know what your soil is lacking, for optimal production, and supply that at the least cost.
