Bentonite Sulphur 90

Bentonite Sulphur 90 is a fertilizer-grade formulation that combines elemental sulfur (90%) with bentonite clay (10%).

It’s designed to provide slow-release sulfur nutrition to crops and help acidify alkaline soils — one of the most efficient and farmer-friendly sulfur fertilizers available today.

Here’s a complete breakdown

  • Color: Yellow to light green
  • Odor: Odorless
  • Solubility: Insoluble in water (requires microbial oxidation to sulfate form)

How It Works (Mode of Action)

  • When Bentonite Sulphur 90 is applied to soil and moistened, the bentonite clay swells, breaking the granule into fine sulfur particles.
  • These fine sulfur particles are then oxidized by soil bacteria (mainly Thiobacillus species) into sulfate (SO₄²⁻) — the form that plants can absorb.
  • The oxidation process is gradual, providing long-term sulfur availability and reducing soil pH (acidification).

Agricultural Benefits

Sulfur Nutrition:

  • Supplies essential sulfur for protein and chlorophyll synthesis.
  • Promotes oil formation in oilseeds (e.g., mustard, sunflower, soybean).
  • Enhances grain quality in cereals and sugar content in sugarcane.

Soil Health:

  • Improves nutrient uptake (especially phosphorus and micronutrients).
  • Reduces soil alkalinity (pH) — helpful in calcareous soils.
  • Improves soil structure and microbial activity.

Long-Lasting Effect:

  • Provides slow and steady sulfur release — one application lasts for several months.

Recommended Crops

  • Oilseeds: Mustard, rapeseed, sunflower, soybean, groundnut
  • Cereals: Wheat, maize, paddy
  • Pulses: Gram, lentil, pea
  • Cash crops: Sugarcane, cotton, tea
  • Horticultural crops: Onion, garlic, citrus, fruits, vegetables
