21% Nitrogen + 24% Sulfur

Two critical nutrients in every granule. 21% nitrogen feeds the plant while 24% sulfur acidifies the soil, improves protein synthesis, and enhances flavor compounds in crops.

⬇️

Lowers Soil pH

Ammonium sulfate is inherently acidifying. Each application nudges pH downward — exactly what blueberries, azaleas, rhododendrons, and evergreens need to thrive.

🫐

Acid-Lover's Preferred N Source

Extension services recommend ammonium sulfate as the nitrogen source for acid-loving crops. It feeds the plant AND maintains the low pH they require.

🌿

Sulfur Deficiency Correction

24% sulfur addresses sulfur deficiency — increasingly common in modern soils. Sulfur is essential for protein formation, chlorophyll, and crop flavor development.

📦

1,000–2,500 sq ft Per Bag

At lawn rates, one 5 lb bag covers 1,000–2,500 sq ft. Efficient application for targeted acidification and nitrogen feeding.

🌾

Cool-Season Lawn Favorite

Preferred by turf professionals for cool-season lawns. Provides quick green-up with sulfur that improves soil structure and nutrient availability in alkaline soils.

Low Burn Risk vs. Urea

At 21% N, ammonium sulfate has a lower burn risk per application than 46-0-0 urea. Safer for direct application near plant roots and on established lawns.
