Granular sulfur

Granular sulfur fertilizer is one of the best-selling types of agricultural fertilizers, which has the right percentage of sulfur and is very effective for plants; like other phosphate fertilizers, the way to use this fertilizer is before planting.

The use of fertilizers in the agricultural industry has been of great interest today. In addition to suitable soil, light, and water conditions, the trees also need the use of fertilizers for proper and excellent fruiting. One of the most suitable fertilizers for strengthening the soil of trees and plants is granular sulfur fertilizer, which has the highest sulfur content of 58%.

One of the most important and widely used elements in plants is the use of sulfur, which is of great importance for plant growth. Sulfur can be prepared as fertilizer in all kinds of agricultural fertilizers, which is used according to the needs of plants and trees.

In addition to controlling some fungal pathogens such as powdery mildew, the use of granular sulfur is beneficial for improving saline and alkaline soils, reducing the local pH of calcareous soils, providing sulfate needed by plants, and increasing the solubility of low-use and high-use elements.

 

Advantages of granular sulfur

The plant needs a significant amount of sulfate for sufficient growth. By using granular sulfur, in addition to the local reduction of the pH of lime-alkali soils, the sulfate required for plant growth is also provided.

One of the most important benefits of granulated sulfur is to increase the elements and micronutrients of the soil and control a number of pathogenic factors such as white fungus and disinfecting the soil, helping the health of the environment, etc. The use of granular sulfur activates beneficial microbes in the soil because the organic substances present in the granular sulfur fertilizer facilitate biological oxidation in the soil.

The use of granulated pollen improves the physical and chemical properties of the soil by 30-60.%. You can easily add granular sulfur fertilizer to the soil using fertilizer spreaders.

 

The consumption of granular sulfur fertilizer

Supplying plant and soil needs is one of the benefits of granular sulfur fertilizer, which, in addition to reducing the local pH of calcareous soils, provides the necessary growth materials for the soil. According to the type of fertilizer, it is better to use granular sulfur fertilizer before planting the crop

Autumn season is one of the most appropriate times to use granular sulfur fertilizer in agricultural soils. To conclude, it is better for farmers to test the soil before using this type of fertilizer to assess the plant’s needs. The appropriate amount of fertilizer for each hectare is about 400 to 600 kg, which is added to the soil using a fertilizer spreader. To combine with the soil, it is better to penetrate the fertilizer deep into the soil by plowing. The amount of fertilizer can vary according to the type of planting, this amount for greenhouse crops is about 250 grams per square meter, which should be well mixed with the soil.

 

The reason for using sulfur fertilizers

Soils do not have all the nutrients and organic matter for plant growth. Many soils have lime and lack many nutrients, which requires the use of chemical fertilizers. Granular sulfur has a modifying effect. The use of granular sulfur fertilizer improves the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil.

In addition to providing organic matter for the plant, the use of sulfur increases the resistance of the plant against diseases and pests, and environmental stress.

 

Granular sulfur fertilizer compounds

Sulfur fertilizer compounds contain 85% sulfur and 10% bentonite. There is usually a lot of sulfur in the leaves of plants and it is part of the protein constituents in the plant. In addition to the production of amino acids, the role of sulfur in plants can also be seen in the center of proteins. Sulfur plays a very important role in the formation of essential plant vitamins and in plant metabolic processes. Some vegetables have a very high smell and aroma despite the presence of volatile sulfur compounds. The presence of swelling compounds of fertilizers in the soil is one of the advantages of granular sulfur fertilizer, which can be absorbed by the plant when they disintegrate in the soil.

 

The necessity to buy granular sulfur

The attention of farmers and experts in the field of agriculture to the importance of plant nutrition has made the importance of buying granular sulfur fertilizer more important than before. The use of granular fertilizer leads to better yield and high quality of seeds and fruits, and also has a high effect on increasing the shelf life of fruits. The use of chemical fertilizers adjusts the pH of the soil, if it is not adjusted well, it causes the loss of beneficial soil organisms. Reducing soil pH is one of the benefits of granular sulfur fertilizer.

Due to factors such as leaching, erosion, gas loss, and plant harvesting, a large amount of soil sulfur is reduced. Sulfur deficiency symptoms can be seen in many plants with symptoms such as pale color, short and small plants, shorter and thinner stems than usual, small leaf surface and a low number of leaves, and low number and weight of fruit.

 

Benefits of granular sulfur fertilizer

Increasing the quantitative and qualitative yield of the product is one of the most important benefits of using granular sulfur fertilizer. The use of chemical fertilizers helps the plant grow better by increasing the absorption of nutrients and micronutrients in the soil. Beneficial soil microbes need fertilizer to activate. The presence of organic substances in the fertilizer activates beneficial soil microbes and biological oxidation. It can help the health of the environment by gradually disinfecting the soil.
