Importance of Sulphur “S” in Sugarcane Nutrition
In Crop Nutrition Science, the first three important Major/Macro plant nutrients are;
Initially Sulphur was considered as the 6th important nutrient after Calcium(4th) and Magnesium(5th) in the Plant nutrient requirement index.
With the increase in use of high yielding varieties of cash crops, rising intensive cropping pattern, increase in cultivable area under irrigation, decreasing fertiliser use efficiency, deteriorating soil health, imbalanced use of fertilisers and unrestricted use of irrigation to crops in high water table regions to name few reasons had led to rapidly depleting the levels of Sulphur nutrient in the soil to a major extent.
The Sulphur deficiency is seen across all the geographies and Soils PAN India after the Green Revolutions in our Nation. This had made the crop nutrition scientists to reconsider the 6th important position of Sulphur and now Sulphur is being recognised as the 4th Major/Macro plant nutrient succeeding “N”, “P” & “K”.
Consequently, the New Equation for Macro Nutrients in Crop Nutrition is N + P + K + S.
Important Role of Sulphur in Sugarcane Nutrition:
Fertilisers providing Sulphur as Nutrient to the crops;
In order to suffice the increasing demand of Sulphur in crop nutrition, the high analysis 90% granular Sulphur fertiliser, introduced 25 years before for the first time by ‘’Mahadhan’’ brand, called as BENSULF in the service of progressive farmers of our nation “INDIA”
With the improvement in Technology of production of Bensulf indigenously by Smartchem Technologies Ltd . in India a new version of Bensulf called ‘’FRT BENSULF’’ is launched on 21st August 2018.
What is FRT BENSULF?
FRT is Fast Release Technology Bensulf, comprising of 90% Elemental Sulphur & 10% Bentonite Clay as a binding & disintegrating agent for the fertiliser.
How it Works?
The Sulphur is assimilated by the crops in the form of Sulphate SO4-, therefore the elemental sulphur containing 90% Sulphur needs to get converted in to Sulphate form in soil near the crop root zone.
When FRT Bensulf comes in contact with soil moisture, the Bentonite Clay absorbs around 20 times moisture of its volume & thus helps the granular fertiliser called Bensulf Pastille to disintegrate, breaking in to smaller particle size less than 50 microns, which thereafter along with the available oxygen in the soil, with inherent fast oxidising technology, releases the sulphur with the help of beneficial bacteria like Thiobacillus & Acido bacillus in the form of Sulphates to the crop.
Sulphur Requirement for Sugarcane and its application time: Sugarcane crop requires 24 kg of sulfur per acre. This Sulphur requirement should be given in the form of “Mahadhan Bensulf Fast”.
Sr No. | Time to use | Quantity (kg / acre) |
---|---|---|
1. | At the time of basal dose | 10kg |
2. | At the time of earting up | 20 kg |
