Soil Amending with Tiger 90CRWith the increased need for world food production, in the new millennium, and the reduction in good farm land around the world, we must look at maximizing yields and quality of our crop production. To do this, however, means that land that is not suitable to crop production must be put into production. This…
The Benefits of Tiger Sulphur on High pH Soils Many soils in North America have a pH above the recommended range of 6.5 pH, and in some cases reaching 8.0 to 9.0 pH. We can use the acidulating power of elemental sulphur to decrease soil pH and improve phosphate and micronutrient availability. Download Now!
Influence of Tiger 90 Sulphur on Potato Scab“As early as 1897 Wheeler and Adams demonstrated that applications of elemental sulphur (S) to soil would control potato scab.” It appears that the mechanism for control comes from the reduction in soil pH. Elemental sulphur products such as degradable Tiger 90CR can aid in reducing the infection levels of common…
Sulphur Leaching Study: Rothamsted, EnglandResearch Project: To Study the effect of fall application of various sulphur sources and the leaching of the various sources. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of fall applied sulfur with various sulfur sources in regards to leaching, and the effect on the overall plant yield. A Lysimeter was used…
Tiger 90CR Alfalfa Research Influence on Disease and YieldResearch Project: Influence of disease on alfalfa production and the importance of Sulphur in an alfalfa fertilizer program. Alfalfa, when well managed, has a high requirement for sulfur because of its key roles in protein synthesis, chlorophyll formation, and utilization of nitrogen in this productive crop plant.

Soil Testing Q&ASoil testing…if you feel as though you have heard enough about soil sampling, you are in for a big surprise. With the increased focus on nutrient management planning of intensive livestock areas, and farm planning programs to manage fertilizer nutrients, we are on the verge of major soil sampling promotional campaigns in most provinces. For the average grower, fertilizer cost is also becoming…
Interpreting Plant Tissue AnalysisPlant analysis measures the concentration of nutrients in a plant tissue. The analysis is based on the concept that the nutrient level present is a result of all factors affecting the plant’s growth. The relationship between nutrient content and crop growth is indicated in the graph below. Download Now!
Guidelines for Sampling Plant TissueThe first analysis a grower should consider is that of soil analysis. This is useful before planting to establish lime and fertilizer requirements and can be used after planting to understand the cause of any nutritional problems (confirmed by foliage analysis) and to modify fertilizer applications accordingly.
