Depending on Application, Ammonium Thiosulphate Fertilizer Can Be Used As a Fertilizer for Plant Cultivations

Ammonium thiosulphate is primarily used in the photoindustry as well as in agriculture. It is commonly known as ammoniumthiosulfate solution in the U.K, Germany, and the U.S. Ammonium thiosulphate fertilizer typically is applied twice, once in the spring and again in the fall with a grain-ready fertilizer blend. Depending on the application, ammonium thiosulfate can be used as a fertilizer for plant cultivations such as rape, maize or grain.

There are two methods for mixing ammonium thiosulphate fertilizer. The first is to use water per 1,000 sq feet and then apply the top soil first, followed by the grain-ready fertilizer. The second method mixes the fertilizer first, then water. The second option ensures that the fertilizer penetrates the soil much deeper than the water per 1,000 sq feet.

When applying an organic compound, one wants to make sure that a balance of ingredients exists. Ammonium thiosulphate fertilizer works best when one mixes a slightly basic solution with a slightly basic carrier, such as in a slow-release fertilizer. Organic compounds do not contain sulfur that can cause a reaction with the topsoil. Thus, using an organic compound such as ammonium thiosulphate also ensures that the compound will not burn or etch the soil, which could damage the roots.

When using a slow-release liquid fertilizer, such as ammonium thiosulphate, it is important to ensure proper plant nutrition before the application. Mixing the fertilizer is more important than its strength. Ammonium thiosulphate fertilizer is usually mixed to a lighter formula, such as a slow-release, non-flammable fertilizer, which provides moisture and heat protection for the crop. This combination also makes it easier to apply, especially to tall crops such as corn.

To avoid etching, coat the soil ahead of time with a slightly basic, non-ammonial nitrogen fertilizer. Also, mix the ammonium thiosulphate with a liquid fertilizer. Then, spray the corn with this mixture to ensure that the chemical bond between the sulfur and the corn is maintained. The most effective method of introducing ammonium thiosulphate fertilizer into the soil is to float the stacks on top of the soil. For this purpose, farmers can purchase aerators that suspend the stacks in water or can simply pour some water on the top of the stacks. A well-drained field will be able to support the stacks for an extended period of time. However, there are some cases where low-cast aluminum cages are used instead. If the fields lack drainage, however, these cages may prove to be a cheaper, albeit temporary, solution.
