DAP and Elemantal sulphur blend?

[Wobblebox]

I put DAP down with spout at drilling and would like to apply some elemental sulphur too, ideally I’d like to buy a blend but does one exist?
If not, is there an easy way I could blend myself before drilling and able to store it without setting hard?

Best done on the drill I reckon ?

That would involve either microgranular hopper which I would have difficulty finding space to mount it, and I’d like to use larger bags, or a front hopper but I’m short of hydraulic outlets to run one.
A pre made blend would be ideal

last year I used tiger 90, applied it with the spinner early Dec when the soil is colder, if you are intending to apply enough S to cover all the crops needs at drilling it might leach out if the winters wet as it will have changed into its soluble form before the soil cools. It does make sense IMO to use S before any N fert as then you onlly need to use straight N, in my case Urea, saved me a lot of money and hastle last season.
Not sure it will go 36 meters but did 24 with no trouble

Granular elemental sulphur is chemically inert and somewhat water repellant so would mix without problem I would have thought.

Progreen do sacks of prilled S and also pastilles if you want to experiment

@rob1 How are crops looking after your elemental sulphur? I'd imagine it's hard to know exactly when it is becoming available and when it has "run out" during the season.

Has anyone tried to melt it and spray it on?

not used it this year as it was simply too wet to get on the land, last year after using it we had our best ever yields, but then most people did well, will use it again

I might try the quad bike next winter to get it out in time. We get 39 inches of rain annually so I have my doubts about autumn application. Only one way to find out !

I put some out last week on a tramline
or two in winter crops. Way too late I know but might still learn something. Trying some spring barley and oats too.
