KayNitro® Sulphur
- Chemical Family
- Sulfur-based Compounds
KayNitro® Sulfur is a true granular compound ideal as a mid and late season fertilizer for grass silage. The product balances large offtakes of Potash where crops are grown on soils high in Phosphate. It is also a flexible grade for forage maize and arable crops where high Potash/low Phosphate applications are required to balance soil nutrient supply and where biosolids high in Phosphate are used in the fertilizer program. The addition of Sulfur enhances crop yield and quality in Sulfur-deficient situations.

- Benefits
A readily available form of Sulfur for rapid uptake – elemental Sulfur cannot be taken up directly by crops because plants only take up Sulfur in the Sulfate form.; AN is the most efficient Nitrogen source and the 'Best Option for the Environment and Farming' according to Government research.; 'To optimize the benefits of N, it is essential to have sufficient exchangeable Potash in the soil.' ref PDA March 2008.; Even application of all nutrients across the whole spreader bout width, which optimizes nutrient use efficiency and crop response.; Reduces autumn workload and potentially fertilizer application costs on arable crops. Potash is provided when the crop uses it most efficiently giving better yields and N uptake.; To fit a range of circumstances where high soil reserves or use of organic manures or biosolids/ sewage sludge cake means no fertilizer Phosphate is required. Reduces the risk of Phosphate loss to the environment.; Reliable product with consistent high quality, every year.

- Sulfur Facts
Sulfur is very mobile in the soil and can leach through the soil profile. Where large amounts are required it is advisable to split the recommended requirement in two or more applications.; Foliar applied Sulfur is a less efficient approach to correcting Sulfur deficiency. This is because only 2% of the Sulfur is intercepted and absorbed through the leaf and often these products don't contain enough Sulfur.; The average UK deposition of Sulfur is now negligible compared with the 25kg SO3 /ha/year of 20 years ago. In fact Sulfur deposition is no longer measured, due to such low levels occurring.; Organic manures contain Sulfur, but in variable quantity and availability. Like elemental Sulfur, most of the Sulfur in organic manures cannot be directly taken up by crops for growth.

- Product Description
Ammonium Nitrate is the most efficient and predictable form of Nitrogen for UK growers.; Ammonium Sulfate offers a readily available source of Sulfur to the growing crop.; Water soluble Potash provides rapid uptake to support Nitrogen use efficiency and plant growth.; A True Granular Compound ensures even and accurate spread of all nutrients across the crop.; Bulk density typical range 900-1000 kg/m3, average 960 kg/m3.; The Carbon Footprint for KayNitro Sulfur is 4.0kg CO2 e per kg Nitrogen.
