Frequently asked questions
What is Taurus Sulfur?
Taurus Sulfur is a dynamic blend of sulfur and crop enhancement components that enhances nutrient uptake and increases plant health.
Why is sulfur important for crop production?
Sulfur is a secondary macronutrient critical to plant growth as a component of photosynthesis and respiration. It is a key component of many protein enzymes, helps regulate photosynthesis, and assists in nitrogen fixation in legume crops. High-yielding crops require large quantities of sulfur. Deficiencies can result in slower growth, delayed maturity, yellowing of new leaves (often with interveinal striping), stunted plants, and reduced yields. Sulfur deficiencies are becoming more common due to higher crop yields, fewer sulfur impurities in fertilizers, and reduced atmospheric sulfur emissions.
How does Taurus Sulfur compare to other in-season sulfur sources like Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS) or Elemental Sulfur?
Elemental Sulfur provides a high-sulfur analysis, which is economical for building fertility levels. However, it requires extended periods to break down into plant-available sulfate. Benefits are limited for in-season applications due to slow availability.
Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS, 12-0-0-26S) is a common in-season side-dress source with some limitations. ATS breaks down to tetrathionate and sulfite before forming sulfate, a process that can take 1–4 weeks depending on conditions (e.g., environment, microbial population). During this time, sulfur is mobile in the soil, unavailable to the crop, and subject to leaching.
Taurus Sulfur (8-0-0-10S) provides 100% readily available sulfur. It can be applied via foliage or roots (e.g., Y-Drop), with side-dress timing for immediate uptake. It’s more efficient than ATS, requires lower rates, and offers easier storage and application.
What are the recommended use rates for Taurus Sulfur?
Use rates vary by application method:
- 2×2 (2″ by 2″): 1–2 quarts/acre
- Soil broadcast: 2–8 quarts/acre
- Side-dress: 1–4 quarts/acre
- Foliar: 1–2 quarts/acre
What application methods are recommended for Taurus Sulfur?
Taurus Sulfur offers excellent flexibility. Apply in 2×2, side-dress, foliar, or soil broadcast applications.
