Sulphur Bentonite Granule

    Sulphur Bentonite is a combination of pure sulphur and Bentonite Powder it is available in Granular Form.

  • It is used as a secondary nutrient and also to correct alkaline soil problems.
  • Sulphur is one of the 17 essential plant nutrients and it helps in the formation of essential enzymes and plant proteins.
  • It is essential for the growth and development of all crops, without exception.

Like any essential nutrient, sulphur also has some key functions in plants:

  • Formation of chlorophyll that permits photosynthesis through which plants produce starch, sugars, oils, fats, vitamins and other compounds.
  • Protein production. Sulphur is a constituent of three S-containing amino acids (cysteine, cystine and methionine), which are the building blocks of protein. About 90% of plant S is present in these amino acids.
  • Synthesis of oils. This is why adequate sulphur is so crucial for oilseeds.
  • Activation of enzymes, which aid in biochemical reactions in the plant.
  • Increases crop yields and improves produce quality, both of which determine the market price a farmer would get for his produce.
  • With reference to crop quality, S improves protein and oil percentage in seeds, cereal quality for milling and baking, marketability of dry coconut kernel (copra), quality of tobacco, nutritive value of forages, etc.
  • It is associated with special metabolisms in plant and the structural characteristics of protoplasm.

Sulphur Deficiency Sources and Symptoms

  • Sulphur deficiency symptoms resemble nitrogen deficiency: the leaves become pale-yellow or light green. Unlike nitrogen, sulphur-deficiency symptoms appear first on the younger leaves, and persist even after nitrogen application

Dosage

  • Sulphur Bentonite should be applied directly to the soil at the time of sowing or in standing crops.
  • For oilseed and pulse crops in dosages of 15 KG/acre should be applied and 10kg/acre should be used for Cereal crops, whereas, for fruits and vegetables crops 10-12kg/acre is the recommended amount of dosage.
