Sulfert 8
Sulfert 8 (8:0:0:8S)is an Ammonium Sulfate solution (40%) - a widely used inorganic nitrogenous fertiliser, comprising 8% Nitrogen and 8% Sulphur.
Sulfur is the fourth most important plant nutrient after Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Sulfur is used by plants to produce chlorophyll – the green pigment in plant tissue that facilitates photosynthesis.
Applications
- Nitrogen and sulphur source
- pH adjustment
- Herbicide
- Abjuvant for herbicides and fungicides
- Fire retardant
