The role of ammonium sulfate granules (steel grade) in agriculture

Ammonium sulfate is a common nitrogen fertilizer mainly used in agricultural and horticultural production processes. Its chemical composition is (NH4)2SO4, in which the nitrogen (N) content is about 21% and the sulfur (S) content is about 24%. This fertilizer has the following salient features:

Increase crop yields

Ammonium sulfate provides plants with sufficient nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth. Compared with other nitrogen fertilizers, ammonium sulfate can be quickly absorbed by plants, promoting plant growth and development, thereby increasing crop yields.

Improve soil quality

Ammonium sulfate is rich in sulfur and can significantly increase the sulfur content in the soil. Sulfur is an important element in plant protein synthesis. Supplementing sulfur can improve soil quality and thereby increase agricultural productivity.

How to use ammonium sulfate

The use of ammonium sulfate granules in agriculture and gardening is very simple and can be divided into the following steps:

Fertilizer application time: It can be applied before sowing or during the plant growth period.
Method of fertilization: usually by broadcasting or strip application, and irrigating in time after fertilization to ensure that the fertilizer can penetrate into the soil.
Fertilizer dosage: Depending on the fertilizer requirements of different crops and soil fertility conditions, the fertilizer dosage is generally around 100-200 kilograms per hectare.

Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of ammonium sulfate and other fertilizers

When choosing fertilizers, understanding the pros and cons of different fertilizers is critical to improving agricultural productivity. Here's how ammonium sulfate compares to other fertilizers:

Fertilizer type	advantage	shortcoming
Ammonium sulfate	Fast fertilization, dual nutrition of nitrogen and sulfur, affordable price	Acidified soil, not suitable for long-term single use
Ammonium nitrate	Fast absorption and not easy to evaporate	High price, easy to evaporate, and potential safety hazards
Urea	Low price, high nitrogen content	Easily volatile and needs to be used in conjunction with other fertilizers

Successful application cases of ammonium sulfate

By analyzing multiple practical application cases, the outstanding performance of ammonium sulfate in improving agricultural productivity can be discovered. For example, on a certain farm, using ammonium sulfate for fertilization, the average crop yield increased by more than 15%, and the quality of crops was significantly improved, winning unanimous praise from farmers.

User feedback

Many users have expressed satisfaction after using ammonium sulfate. They believe that ammonium sulfate can significantly increase crop yields, improve soil quality at the same time, and is very cost-effective. For example, an agricultural practitioner from North China shared: "After fertilizing with ammonium sulfate, my corn yield increased by 20%, and the quality is better. It is really a very effective fertilizer."
