Sulfates occupy a central place in the modern system of plant mineral nutrition. Being a source of sulfur—an essential element for protein synthesis, photosynthesis, and general crop development—sulfate forms of fertilizer have become a key tool in the intensification of agriculture. In conditions of depleted soil nutrient reserves, understanding the role of sulfur and the correct choice of compounds, such as ammonium sulfate or magnesium fertilizers, allows for the effective correction of micronutrient deficiencies and ensures the healthy growth of vegetable and fruit crops.
This collection of materials covers a wide range of practical issues: from the fundamental role of sulfur in plant life to specific fertilizer application technologies. Readers will find here recommendations for calculating nutrient rates for various substrates, an analysis of the specific features of using nitrogen-sulfur compositions in irrigated agriculture, and rules for mixing them to achieve an optimal balance. The articles will help agronomists and gardeners systematize their knowledge of the chemical properties of sulfates, their impact on yield, and the rules for their application in greenhouses and open soil to obtain high results.
