What is ammonium sulfate?
Ammonium sulfate is a highly effective inorganic salt. Its most important use is the preparation of chemical fertilizers. This material contains 21% nitrogen in the form of positive ammonium ions and 24% sulfur in the form of sulfate anions. The presence of sulfate in the fertilizer is to reduce the pH of the soil.
The general process of producing ammonium sulfate is from the reaction of sulfuric acid and ammonia, according to which, the raw materials required for the production of ammonium sulfate in different grades are sulfuric acid and ammonia. Sulfuric acid is with a purity of 98% and ammonia with a purity of 1.99% in liquid form.
Nitrogen in ammonium sulfate
Nitrogen is one of the most important elements and key factors in achieving optimal performance in agricultural and horticultural crops. This element has the highest concentration in plants and is the bottleneck of growth. It also plays an important role in increasing performance so its deficiency limits performance more than other nutrients.
Nitrogen in ammonium sulfate
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere. Among the elements, it is the most used element, which is absorbed through the roots in the form of nitrate NO3-1, ammonium NH4+1, and urea CH4N2O ions, and after being transferred to the leaves, it interferes in the synthesis of amino acids and finally creates proteins.
Nitrogen forms an important part of other organic compounds such as chlorophyll pigment and coenzymes. Nitrogen stimulates the vegetative growth of the tree, and in case of excessive consumption, it leads to the creation of soft tissues and an increase in the growth of the tree and has an adverse effect on the production process.
Soil nitrogen is supplied from two sources: organic and chemical fertilizers. In animal manures and green manures, nitrate is a very soluble anion that is not absorbed by the soil. Therefore, it can easily move to the roots or be removed from the plant by washing. Urea is also mobile and despite its easy absorption, it can be removed by washing; But ammonium has a positive charge, and like other cations, it is absorbed by soil particles, and therefore its mobility and leaching are limited.
Compounds of crystalline ammonium sulfate fertilizer
Ammonium sulfate is a type of fertilizer. This fertilizer has 21% nitrogen and 24% sulfur. It is acidic and is the best fertilizer for Iran’s soil conditions.
If the soil is alkaline and its pH is high, the pH will decrease to some extent with the use of ammonium sulfate fertilizer.
Crystalline Ammonium Sulfate fertilizer, WHY?
Ammonium sulfate is the best source of nitrogen and sulfur for fruit trees and crops that need these elements. Since the nitrogen of this fertilizer is in the form of ammonium and its sulfur is in the form of sulfate, ammonium is exchangeably attached to clay particles and is less leached in the soil than other nitrogen fertilizers.
Urea fertilizer in alkaline or calcareous soils may cause problems and cause a further increase of alkalinity and soil reaction as well as poisoning with salinity in the soil. While ammonium sulfate is more suitable for alkaline and calcareous soils (the soil conditions of most pistachio orchards).
Ammonium sulfate fertilizer, due to the presence of sulfur element in its composition and as a result of its decomposition in the soil and the formation of sulfuric acid, as well as the presence of nitrogen in the ammonium form, causes the soil alkalinity to decrease and does not have a negative effect on the environment. Therefore, ammonium sulfate fertilizer has less destructive effects on the environment than other chemical fertilizers.
