Ammonium sulfate

Type: Surfactant & Fertilizer

What is it?

Ammonium sulfate ([NH₄]₂SO₄) is a chemical compound used both as a fertilizer and a surfactant in the agricultural sector. The primary area of use for Ammonium sulfate is as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture, and as a surfactant, it is often mixed with herbicides to enhance their effectiveness. Typically, it is applied at a moderate to high rate, depending on the specific agricultural needs.

How does it work?

As a fertilizer, Ammonium sulfate provides essential nitrogen and sulfur to plants, promoting healthy growth and development. In its role as a surfactant, it works by reducing the surface tension of water, which improves the adhesion of herbicides to plant leaves, leading to improved efficacy. The time to see results varies depending on its use; as a fertilizer, effects on plant growth can be observed over the course of the growing season, while as a surfactant, the enhanced effectiveness of herbicides can be noticed shortly after application.

Benefits

The primary benefit of Ammonium sulfate is its dual role in agriculture. As a fertilizer, it effectively supplies nitrogen, one of the most vital nutrients for plant growth. As a surfactant, it enhances the efficacy of herbicides, making weed control more efficient. This dual functionality makes it a valuable tool in various agricultural settings.
