Bentonite Sulphur fertilizer is one of the concentrated source of sulphur. Sulphur deficiency is predominant in Indian soils. Sulphur is involved in metabolic functions of plants and is a constituent of amino acids. It also helps in chlorophyll synthesis and improves efficiency of other nutrients. Sulphur is a key element in oilseed production. It leads to improvement in yield of crops and oil content. Sulphur bentonite contains 90 % S and 10 % Bentonite clay which serves as binder during manufacture and as a dispersing agent after addition to soils.

ROLE OF ‘S’ IN PLANT GROWTH

Sulphur is essential for the growth and development of all crops, without exception.
‘S’ deficiencies can only be corrected by the application of ‘S’ fertiliser.

SULPHUR Fertilizer IN AGRICULTURE (4TH ESSENTIAL NUTRIENT)

Sulphur (S) is vital for life, and essential for plant growth like nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) and potassium (K),
S is one of the nutrients essential to plant life. It contributes to higher crop yields and quality in different ways;
– Provides a direct nutritional value
– Improves the efficiency of other essential nutrients to plants, particularly N,P and some micronutrients as Zn, Fe,
Cu, Mn and B
– Improves crop production quality by increasing the percentage of protein and oil in seeds, cereal quality for
milling and baking, nutritional value and marketability of vegetables and fruits, quality of tobacco, nutritive value of
forages, etc.
Oil crops, legumes, forages and some vegetables require more S than P for optimal yield and quality.
