Be Prepared for Any Season
Expertise, research and industry conversations in one place.
Changing crop management habits is no easy task. You need expertise to understand what’s possible; research to demonstrate what’s realistic; and trusted news and information to understand what’s reasonable. It’s all here in one place, so you can spend more time getting serious about soybeans.
THE RESEARCH TO UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL IN YOUR SOYBEANS
From land grant university field trials to our own field trial program, these results prove that traditional soybean nutrient management programs have underestimated the potential of soybeans for too long. With the proper nutrient plan, including increased sulfur and nitrogen availability, high-yielding soybeans can be a profitable option year after year. See for yourself.
4R NUTRIENT STEWARDSHIP APPROACH
Sulf-N® ammonium sulfate fits the 4R nutrient stewardship approach for sulfur and nitrogen fertilization of high yield-potential soybeans.
Right Rate
Right Time
Soybeans can benefit from sulfur and nitrogen applied within 2-3 weeks of planting. Sulfur is essential for biological nitrogen fixation, and nitrogen can boost early growth while nodulation establishes.
Soybeans may benefit from nitrogen and sulfur applied at bloom or shortly after – soil nitrogen plus biologically fixed nitrogen may not be enough to grow 75+ bu/acre. Additionally, 50% of the nitrogen and sulfur is taken up after flowering.
Right Place
Right Source
Sulf-N:registered: ammonium sulfate resists nitrogen loss and provides immediately available sulfur.
Soybean field studies have shown AMS responses of up to 13 bu/acre.
There is no need to incorporate into the soil; it will solubilize and become available to roots with the first rain or with watering.
AMS has proven to be 2X more efficient than fertilizer applications composed of 50% of sulfur in the elemental form.

White Paper: Sulf-N® Ammonium Sulfate Outperforms Elemental Sulfur Formulations in Soybean Field Trials
In field trials conducted by Purdue University in 2016 and 2017 and recently reported in Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, Sulf-N® ammonium sulfate was twice as efficient as two other commercial sulfur (S) formulations containing the same total S, but with half of it in the form of elemental S.
White Paper: Modern Soybeans Require More S and N
Purposeful nutrition management and timely planting can pay off in yield. Increasingly, soybeans are becoming more than just something to rotate with corn. Savvy growers are learning that high-yielding soybean varieties, if managed intentionally, will pay off the extra effort in yield.
