Calcifert Sulphur

Calcium and sulphur are essential nutrients for crops and grassland and are often under supplied in many farmed soils. Soil lacking in either of these minerals can result in poor crop performance and wasted fertiliser application. Calcium is not often recognised as a limiting factor in plant development and is not accounted for in crop off take. Calcium deficiency normally occurs on acidic soils where native calcium has leached. Sulphur deficiency occurs most often with high nitrogen fertiliser 56 Calcifert Sulphur has chemical analysis for SO3 of fifty six Efficient nitrogen utilisation Sulphur is key to efficient nitrogen utilisation. It is therefore essential that farmers get the most from the input they apply, especially with ever-increasing fertiliser prices. Calcifert Sulphur is a quick and easy way to supply both calcium and sulphur to the soil and crop. rates. If the supply of nitrogen is not balanced with adequate sulphur, the nitrogen available for crop use may be excessive in relation to sulphur and therefore under utilised.

Calcifert Sulphur is a quick and easy way to supply both calcium and sulphur to your soil. With a typical analysis of calcium as CaO: 39% and sulphur expressed as SO3: 56%, Calcifert Sulphur is one of the purest calcium sulphate products on the market for arable and grassland soils deficient in calcium and sulphur. Calcifert Sulphur has a neutralising value of zero, meaning it won’t affect the pH of your soil. Calcifert Sulphur is a granulated calcium sulphate product.

Trials of Calcifert Sulphur have resulted in:

• Strengthening of the plant’s physical structure, helping to protect against disease and use sunlight and nutrients more efficiently.
• Improvements to spring barley yield where there was a sulphur deficiency.
• Increase in grass protein levels in three on consecutive silage cuts on grassland.
• Improved digestibility of grass forage.
• Improved soil structure and workability by reducing compaction caused by equipment and livestock.
