Amon AS %21 - Ammonium Sulfate

Amon AS %21

It is a nitrogenous fertilizer and contains 21 kg of nitrogen (N) and 24 kg of another nutrient, sulfur (SO2). Since it is generally white in color and looks like granulated sugar, it is called "Sugar Fertilizer" by our farmers.The nitrogen in ammonium sulfate fertilizer is in the form of ammonium. However, after a while after the fertilizer is applied to the soil, some of the ammonium turns into nitrate. Thus, both ammonium and nitrate that the plant needs can be met with this fertilizer. In addition, since it contains sulfur, the sulfur need of the plant can be met with ammonium sulfate fertilizer. Since this fertilizer accelerates the growth of plants and makes it easier for the plant to absorb phosphorus from the soil, it is generally appropriate to give it during planting. If plants are given less ammonium sulfate than they need, the development of the plant will be poor.

AS %21 Fertilizer
  • Since it has an acid character, it is suitable for use in neutral and calcareous soils.
  • If applied to acidic soils, it should be used with some lime. If the pH value of the soil falls below 5.5, the nitrogen compounds (Ammonium or Nitrate) in the soil cannot be absorbed sufficiently by the plant, therefore it is necessary to lime the soil.
  • When used too much, the pH concentration of the soil decreases and an acidic environment forms in the root area of the plant.
  • It is an ideal fertilizer for grain, tea and paddy products.
  • In order for the plant to benefit from it in the best way, half of the fertilizer needed by the plant should be applied at the time of planting and the other half should be applied in the later stages of development. In this way, the applied fertilizer is prevented from being washed away or evaporated into gaseous form.
  • Since the ammonium it contains is partially retained by the soil, the loss of the applied fertilizer by being washed away by irrigation water and rainfall is partially prevented.
  • It increases the amount of acid in the soil if used continuously for many years. For this reason, it should not be given to acidic soils. If used in acidic soils for a long time, it will cause the soil to become more acidic, making the soil infertile. For this reason, it is more appropriate to use ammonium nitrate 33% fertilizer instead of ammonium sulfate in acidic soils.
  • It is less likely to form agglomerates (cake) by absorbing moisture. Therefore, it is easily preserved. Ammonium sulfate fertilizer does not contain fillers, but since it is one of the fertilizers with the highest salinity index, it would not be appropriate to use it in drip irrigation systems.
  • Lack of sulfur prevents the formation of chlorophyll in the leaves of the plant. This is very similar to the problem of nitrogen deficiency. Because the color of the leaf changes in case of deficiency of both nutrients. However, nitrogen deficiency occurs first in old leaves; Sulfur deficiency is first seen in young leaves. This makes it easier to determine which of these nutrients is responsible for the problem occurring in plant leaves. Sulfur deficiency also causes the formation of shoots in the plant to decrease and the shoots that form to remain weak.
