When making your liquid nitrogen selection, consider adding higher rates of Thio-Sul®, a concentrated liquid containing both nitrogen and thiosulfate sulfur. By adding more Thio-Sul to your urea ammonia nitrate (UAN) solution, you can effectively stretch the nitrogen fertilizer while providing essential sulfur nutrition to the growing crop.

Watch Full Webinar Dr. Zack Ogles and Dr. Elizabeth Lemings discuss the continued research with Auburn University, revealing that thiosulfates, when used at higher rates, can significantly slow the rate of nitrification compared to commercially available nitrification inhibitors. With rising fertilizer costs and growing environmental concerns...

Without sulfur, the quality of wheat isn’t as “golden” as it could be. By Elizabeth Lemings, Ph.D., Agronomist For instance, sulfur nutrition is crucial for producing quality flour with desirable characteristics to make bread, says Elizabeth Lemings, Ph.D., Midwest Regional Agronomist, noting that sulfur plays a significant role in the formation of...

Roles of Nitrogen and Sulfur in Cotton Nitrogen and sulfur are both essential to producing quality cotton fiber and high yields. However, they have something else in common, they are mobile in the soil and are subject to leaching out of the rooting zone.

It is essential for growers to find ways to protect the nitrogen they apply. In the webinar, “Protecting Nitrogen with Thiosulfates: A New Look at a Legacy Product,” Manager of Agronomy Zack Ogles, Ph.D., said that concentrated applications of thiosulfates can help growers protect their nitrogen investments. Collaborative studies from Tessenderlo...

Nitrogen Management in Cotton Effective nitrogen management plays a crucial role in cotton production to achieve optimal yields. Understanding the impact of nitrogen deficiencies is key in addressing common symptoms and ensuring robust vegetative growth. Let's dig into the significance of nitrogen management and how it influences cotton production.

Importance of Sulfur Sulfur (S) is often referred to as the fourth most essential nutrient in crop production and is an important component of amino acids and proteins. In the soil profile, sulfur is a mobile nutrient and exists as plant available sulfate (SO42-) and as organic sulfur that is stored in organic matter. Most crops require around a 10...

Decades of research makes it clear: Thio-Sul, the original ammonium thiosulfate fertilizer gives value far beyond nitrogen and sulfur. When mixed with other fluid fertilizers, such as UAN or APP, and applied to the soil in concentrated fertilizer bands, Thio-Sul can enhance micronutrient availability. It also inhibits nitrification and improves...
