| Sulphur Source, pH Adjustment and Soil Conditioner - Corrects acid OR alkaline soil conditions
- Reduces compaction – Clay breaker
- Promotes micro tilling
- Corrects sulphur deficiency
- Improves nutrient availability
- Alleviates excessive saline conditions
BioSulphur contains sulphur, calcium and ammonium and can correct either acid or alkaline soil conditions. It selectively releases either sulphides (to correct alkalinity) or calcium/ammonium (to correct acidity) according to the conditions it encounters and adjusts the pH towards neutral. Because it is held in a colloidal state, the particle size of sulphur when released in the soil is 0.01 microns, making it 10,000 times more active in terms of surface area than ground sulphur. Soil Structure and Nutrient Availability With the wrong soil pH, plant nutrients become less available and soils become unproductive. Rebalancing these conditions improves the microbial population leading to increased micro tilling in the root zone, reducing compaction and improved utilisation of fertiliser. Overall this enhances the health and growth of the plant. In addition, sulphur is known to be effective in reducing problems from fungal infections. Sulphur Deficiency Sulphur is an essential plant nutrient, which rarely needed to be added to the soil as coal burning power stations used to provide plenty to the atmosphere replenishing the soil each time it rained. This is less true today and many growers are starting to experience sulphur deficiency problems. BioSulphur makes sulphur readily available to the plant. 20 litres of BioSulphur is equivalent to 181 kg of ground sulphur. Application rate: For Clays, saline soils and Soils with excess Calcium, Magnesium or other metals: Apply to soil prior to sowing at 40 up to 80 litres/Ha diluted in about 300 litres of water. For Sulphur Deficiency: Apply as a foliar spray at 5 – 10 Ltrs/Ha diluted in at least 20:1 water. Avoid application in drought conditions. Due to its high sulphur content, BioSulphur has a strong odour but this quickly disperses. It is not recommended for use in glasshouses or covered areas. Packing: 5 Ltr polycans (2 x 5 litres per carton), 20 Ltr or 200 Litre drums |
