Ammonium sulphate

HS Code: 31022100

Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic sulfate salt obtained by reacting sulfuric acid with two equivalents of ammonia. It is used as a fertilizer for alkaline soils and as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water-soluble insecticides and fungicides. Growers primarily apply ammonium sulfate where supplemental nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) are needed to meet the nutritional requirements of growing plants.

While ammonium sulfate provides an excellent source of sulfur, its relatively low nitrogen content (21%) often makes it less economical to handle and transport than other, more concentrated nitrogen fertilizers. However, it remains a valuable option for fields deficient in sulfur, as sulfur plays a crucial role in various essential plant functions, including protein synthesis.
