Sulfur is the fourth most essential nutrient for healthy crops following nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Thio-Sul, the original ammonium thiosulfate fertilizer supplies a higher level of sulfur than all other clear liquid fertilizer on the market. Furthermore, Thio-Sul also provides immediate available nitrogen that is essential to plant growth and development. Both of these nutrients play crucial roles in the production of chlorophyll and amino acids in healthy crops.

KTS is the highest analysis, liquid potassium and sulfur source on the market. KTS provides immediate available potassium that is essential to many plant functions including stress tolerance, water management, enzyme activity and nutrient transport. Sulfur provides assistance in the production of amino acids, proteins, oils and chlorophyll. KTS is an ideal product for fertigation (application via irrigation) as it enables growers to effectively manage the potassium and sulfur requirements of crops.

Calcium and Sulfur are critical nutrients for healthy plant growth. In fact, calcium is a major component of cell walls and often associated with higher fruit quality. The combination of calcium and Sulfur in a readily available form provide the structural building blocks that are necessary for ensuring a healthy crop.  CaTs is a 100% soluble form of calcium and Sulfur that is able to both quickly and efficiently displace salts from the root zone, improve water filtration and help to reduce ammonia loss from urea. The American Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) recognizes CaTs as a “nitrogen stabilizer” due to its ability to reduce nitrogen volatilization.

Magnesium is most recognized as being the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule. Magnesium is critical to the photosynthesis process and is involved in many enzymatic processes within the plant. In addition, magnesium assists with phosphorus movement inside the plant. Plants with adequate levels of magnesium often have darker green leaf tissue due to high levels of chlorophyll. Without adequate magnesium, phosphorus mobility is limited and can result in slower growth. MagThio is a clear, chloride-free liquid form of magnesium and sulfur. The combination of magnesium and sulfur in MagThio helps to deliver vital components to soil and crops and assists in correcting nutrient deficiencies.

N-Sure is a safe, versatile, high analysis nitrogen fertilizer that provides two modes of plant uptake due to the unique chemistry of triazone nitrogen. When applied to soils, N-Sure supplies Triazone™ nitrogen which is slowly released through microbial activity due to the ring structure of the triazone molecule. This is similar to the way traditional “organic” fertilizers become plant available after application. As a foliar, N-Sure acts as a humectant, keeping the surface of leaves moist for a longer period of time allowing for direct uptake of the triazone molecule into the leaf tissue. N-Sure can be mixed with UAN solution in any ratio to provide four different forms of nitrogen.

Germinating seeds rely on nutrients stored in the soil to provide vital energy for root growth. Cold soils can limit nutrient availability and uptake, as well as root growth. Meanwhile, potassium and sulfur deficiencies can severely reduce or delay plant growth, which in turn postpones maturity and impacts overall crop quality. K-Row 23 delivers plant-available potassium and sulfur to supply crops with the nutrients they need when they need them the most. Our seed safe solution delivers potassium in-furrow to support early plant uptake and is an ideal starter fertilizer that helps protect young seedlings from environmental risks.

A non-hazardous solution used successfully as a lixiviant in the process of thiosulfate leaching as an alternative to the use of cyanide.
