I'm considering an ammonium sulfate application of 50 pounds per acre with my drill the next time I plant wheat. Should I be concerned about salt toxicity?
That rate of ammonium sulfate would equate to 10.5 pounds of nitrogen per acre, which should even be safe for wheat seedlings growing on sandy soils – and certainly safe to wheat growing on heavier soils.
