SupaSulfa
SupaSulfa is used as soil conditioner and acts as an acidity buffer so transforming most of soil's insoluble salts into others more soluble.
It reacts rapidly on exposure to air, precipitating colloidal sulphur in the solution, reacting to air's carbon dioxide.
Various researches shows that in order to obtain better crop yields, the soil has to be in a condition to make available large quantities of nutrients.
In alkaline soils, when sodium is absorbed by the soil, it hardens and becomes impermeable. Under these conditions air and water cannot permeate the soil freely, thus reducing the nutrient uptake and soil biology.
SupaSulfa reacts on the insoluble carbonate salts in the soil, generating calcium ions, colloidal sulphur and ammonium.
The particles of colloidal sulphur (0.01 micron) in SupaSulfa, form sulphate and sulphide ions in the soil which react immediately with non- soluble salts, particularly on sodium and calcium carbonates, transforming them into their corresponding sulphates and sulphides. Calcium sulphate provides assimilable calcium to plants. Sodium sulphates and sulphides are less toxic to plants, and can be gradually drained from the soil through the action of rain or irrigation.
SupaSulfa by transforming carbonates into sulphates and sulphides gives the soil an acidic character, which lowers the pH of alkaline soils.
Conversely in acid soils, SupaSulfa does not increase the acidity because for the colloidal sulphur to transform insoluble salts into sulphates and sulphides, it requires alkaline conditions. Acid soils are characterized by their deficiency of calcium and abundance of organic material and soluble salts.
SupaSulfa, in acid soils, provides calcium salts which raise the pH. The ammonium component of SupaSulfa reacts immediately with acid salts, transforming them into neutral ammonium salts, and the colloidal sulphur derived from SupaSulfa acts in a very important way, forming coordinating complexes with fertilizer salts and as a moderate fungicide. The Sulphur component of SupaSulfa makes phosphorous and potassium more assimilable by plants.
SupaSulfa slowly frees ammonia providing nitrogen as a component of plant nutrition, and chelating agent for minor salts as copper, manganese, ferrous, zinc and magnesium. Chelates are nontoxic coordinating compounds.
