Sulphur shortage

[czechmate]

Nitrogen already here though

the Tiger things through a fert spreader is probably your answer then.
I don’t remember them being cheap though

Calcifert S

The last I had was £550/t iirc, but that was about 5 years ago. I suspect it will have gone up a bit since then, but the rate is so low that it doesn’t work out very much per acre.

It has to break down and convert from Sulphur to plant available Sulphate (iirc), so slow release and not available until a while after spreading.

Calcifert S (Ca & Sulphur) or Kieserite (Mag and Sulphur) would supply a readily available form.

Probably too late for this season as the s will be needed soon and tiger needs time to change to the available form. It worked ok for me but was applied late nov.

Had some soil tests done on upland grassland and some fields showing short of sulphur, what is the most cost effective way of building these up? TIA.

Gypsum

You will never build sulphur levels due to its nature

little and often !

Potash plus is a good source of sulphur, and it’s dug out of the ground in the uk.

Thank you

There is a second page of ICL polysulphate similar machine settings. Amazone website had many ferts on it and very good response from email request.

That’s what I have for this year, as my usual (similar) KornKali blend had gone up by even more.

PotashpluS was £370/t a couple of months back. No idea where it is now though.

For the first time ever this year we are using single super phosphate instead of triple. Its only 18% phosphate but contains 30% Calcium and 29% Sulphur. When I bought it, it was a similar price per unit of P to TSP so the sulphur and calcium was a bonus.

Probably irreplaceable

I think Ocealia have some in stock at 314 euros in bulk for 30T tipped. None left in bags. I bought last autumn at just over 200 euros/T in big bags and they "lost" the order. When I called up this spring to say where was it there was a hell of a panic because I insisted on bagged stuff as that was what I ordered.

I went on amazone website sunday evening and came across the request page for settings , my exact model of spreader was not listed, (ZAM MaxIS) so i went back on the site at 8am this morning and filled out details where it said email us ,and by 10 minutes past 8 this morning they replied with the information for my model which i have now printed off ,going to set it up later today and go spreading tomorrow
