Description:
MICROSULF is useful in various crops as secondary nutrient, Fungicide, Acaricide and Miticide. The extra
small particle size of the sulphur in MICROSULF – is created by double extraction process. The elemental
Sulphur in Microsulf is derived from Kelp species of seaweed and onion extracts. This organic form of
sulphur, coupled with the sophisticated wetting/spreading system, gives very effective coverage of the
plant and ensures excellent uptake into the leaves. The efficiency of the formulation means that lower rates
of application give equivalent control to higher rates of coarse soluble powder products.
Sulphur is an important nutrient for crop production, and is classified as a secondary element, ranking
alongside magnesium and calcium in importance. Sulphur has been recognised as an essential element for
plants for more than two centuries, but only in the last decades has sulphur deficiency emerged in
agricultural crops. Sulphur is regarded as a secondary nutrient even though plant requirements for sulphur
are equal to and sometimes exceed those for phosphorus. However, sulphur is recognised as one of the
major nutrients essential for plant growth, root nodule formation of legumes and plants protection
mechanisms. In organic production sulphur is the most important fungicide.
MICROSULF is essential for all living organisms, and no living organism can survive without a consistent
supply of sulfur. Liquid sulphur is a required nutrient in plants for two major reasons:
It is the enzyme activator necessary for the plant to induct nitrogen
It is essential for protein synthesis
It is essential that plants be kept supplied with sulfur throughout the growing season. Besides being a
necessary nutrient its natural oxidation process gives beneficial control needed by the soil. In addition, it
also helps in the removal of unwanted soil salts. Microsulf is 100% water-soluble and hence it is immediately
available to the plant.
