Fall Fertilizer Application on CanolaAs canola acres have surged, so has the need for fertilizer to feed the hungry crop. Canola can utilize more than half a pound of SO4 for each bushel of seed produced. In areas where yields have exceeded 70 bushels per acre, over 35 pounds of SO4 are utilized by the crop. Growers are…
Considerations for Fall Application of Tiger-Sul ProductsCrop production issues have been complicated due to extreme weather conditions. Soil fertility management strategies should be reevaluated to enhance future crop yields. Do not overlook the need for additional sulphur in your management program this season. Fall-applied Tiger-Sul® products provide long-term plant nutrition benefits. I agree to the…
Amending Soil with Tiger 90CR SulphurThe scope of this discussion will focus on soil conditions and adding amendments to enhance plant nutrient availability. Soil amendments are materials added to soil to improve its characteristics that are more conducive to root growth and enhance nutrient uptake. I agree to the terms and conditionsDownload Now!
Functionality of Tiger ProductsThere are several sources of sulphur (S) products available for use as a plant nutrient. Each product has a place in the market and functions as designed when managed appropriately. Some products are water soluble; others are not water soluble. Whereas, some products contain water soluble and non-water soluble sulphur ingredients. Product…
Is There a Difference Between Elemental Sulphur and Sulphur Bentonite?Yes, there are significant differences, although very often the terms elemental sulphur (S) and sulphur bentonite (Tiger 90CR® Sulphur) are used interchangeably. While both products are valuable, they each have very specific uses. Elemental sulphur is utilized primarily in commercial industry and to lesser extent in…
Pecan Fertility ConsiderationsPecan (Carya illinoinensis) is a species of hickory cultivated for its seed (fruit, nut). Yield and quality are affected mainly by water, sunlight, and fertilization. Pecans can be found in many differing soil types. Pecans prefer deep, well-drained soils which maximize production potential. Areas that are poorly drained should be avoided as well as those with low…
Blueberry Nutrient ManagementBlueberry fertility management requires an understanding of nutrient mobility. Nutrients requirements are affected by plant age, canopy size, yield, time of year. Fertilizer applications depends on both the method of application and amount of plant nutrients needed. Continued testing for both soil pH and soil nutrient levels are needed and should be corrected according to plant…
Manganese in Crop NutritionManganese is one of the essential nutrients required for plant growth. It is classified as a micronutrient but is as important as the primary nutrients. Manganese serves multiple functions within plant physiology including enzyme activator, energy transfer process within photosynthesis, chlorophyll formation, and nitrogen synthesis.

Plant Nutrient Uptake MechanismsCrop production specialists do very good job of evaluating soil test results, identifying plant stress factors, and providing appropriate recommendations from an above ground plant growth standpoint. Oftentimes individuals working with crop production tend to overlook the importance of plant roots and the influence they have on the plant, maximizing its growth, and productivity potential.…
Utilizing Tiger 90CR Sulphur on Low pH SoilsAn optimized yield response requires an efficient crop production system as well as an adequate supply of water and all essential nutrients readily available to the plant. Optimizing yield response begins by taking an inventory of current soil nutrients, water holding capacity and the nutrient holding capacity of soils in a field.…
