Tiger Sulphur
1.What is Tiger 90CR Sulphur?
Tiger 90CR Sulphur is the industry leading degradable sulphur that contains 10% swelling agents that disperses the elemental sulphur into a range of fine particles. Independent research testing has shown Tiger 90CR Sulphur provides Season Long Availability of plant available sulphate throughout the growing season while minimizing leaching losses typically associated with water soluble sulfate fertilizers.
2.What does CR mean in Tiger 90CR?
CR stands for "Controlled & Release". Tiger 90CR Sulphur was developed as an enhanced degradable sulphur fertilizer. Extensive research and development work by Tiger-Sul Products discovered several key formulation processes that is essential for the enhanced Tiger 90CR Sulphur formulation. Today Tiger 90CR sulphur is recognized as the leading form of degradable sulphur on the market due to it's enhanced degradation and superior handling characteristics.
3.How does Tiger 90CR convert to plant available sulfate?
The conversion process of Tiger 90CR Sulphur is dependent on several environmental as well as controlled factors created by the formation of Tiger 90CR sulphur. Two key processes need to occur for efficient oxidation. First the Tiger 90CR Sulphur pastille needs to degrade into a fine particle to increase it's surface area, and soil distribution. Secondly the conversion of Tiger 90CR Sulphur is the oxidation process where soil bacteria consume the fine sulphur particles thus producing plant available sulfate. The result is a Season Long Availability of Sulphur maximizing sulphur to the crop while minimizing leaching that is typically associated with sulfate fertilizers.
