[QUOTE="sjt01, post: 6519115, member: 30726"] By lowering pH you move ammonia gas to ammonium ions which stay in solution rather than escape to atmosphere. The effect carries on from storage into the spreading, so you get much more N available to the crop. If you use sulphuric acid you are making ammonia sulphate fertiliser. Health and safety - there is no way you would get me or any of the farm staff under a cover to degrit - the space would be near impossible to ventilate properly so would be a death trap. The cover would have to be removed on a regular basis for degritting, not an easy option so some might be tempted to go underneath. [/QUOTE]
