Ammonium Sulphate Fertilizer
Dosage
- Recommended Foliar Spray Dosage: Dosage: 2% solution (i.e., 20 grams per liter of water) Frequency: Every 10–15 days, depending on plant need and weather Application time: Early morning or late afternoon to avoid leaf burn
- How to Prepare: For a standard garden sprayer (10 liters): Add 200 grams of ammonium sulphate to 10 liters of water Stir well until fully dissolved Spray evenly on leaf surfaces
- Precautions: Do not exceed 2% concentration, as higher rates can cause phytotoxicity Avoid spraying on hot, sunny days Test on a few plants before broad use, especially on sensitive species
Benefits
Provides readily available nitrogen
Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient for plant growth, and ammonium sulfate is a quick-acting source of this essential element. It promotes vigorous vegetative growth, enhances leaf development, and contributes to a healthy green canopy.
Rich in sulfur
Sulfur is a secondary nutrient that is vital for plant metabolism. It aids in the synthesis of amino acids and enzymes, which are essential for various plant functions.
Improves soil health
Ammonium sulphate can help to improve soil health by promoting the growth of beneficial soil microbes. This, in turn, can lead to better nutrient uptake and overall plant health.
Versatile application
Ammonium sulphate can be used on a wide range of plants, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees, and lawns. It can be applied through various methods, including soil application, foliar feeding, and fertigation.
Things to Consider
Nutrient composition
Check the specific nutrients included in the ammonium sulphate and verify it aligns with your plants' needs. Some popular micronutrients in these blends include Nitrogen and Sulphur.
Application rates
Always follow the instructions on the product label for proper dilution and application frequency to avoid overfertilization.
Plant compatibility
Certain plants might be sensitive to specific nutrients. Research the appropriate blends for your plant types.
Soil testing
While helpful, humic fertilizers might not address underlying soil deficiencies. Consider soil testing to determine specific nutrient needs for targeted solutions.
