Introducing SulGro™65, by Sultech: the first commercially available micronized elemental sulphur suspension.
SulGro™65 (0-0-0-65) brings together the best features of ammonium sulphate (AMS) and elemental sulphur fertilizer in one convenient sprayable formulation.
SulGro™65 is the best of both worlds. By micronizing elemental sulphur, soilborne microbes can begin converting the sulphur particles to plant-available sulphate within 7 to 10 days – and provide a steady source of plant-available sulphates throughout the growing season.
SulGro™65 is packaged and applied as a liquid formulation (water suspension) that is safe to handle and store.
The result is a storage-safe, seed-safe, elemental sulphur fertilizer that can match and surpass AMS in a variety of environmental conditions.
Converts to sulphate in 7-10 days.
No risk of ammonium toxicity or osmotic pressure.
Packaged and applied as a liquid formulation. No dusting concerns
An opportunity to remove AMS from your granular fertilizer blend.
90% conversion to sulphate throughout the application season.
Flexible S on your schedule. Spray, side-band or in-furrow.
65% S content. Nutrition on demand.
Outperforms AMS in drought & excessive moisture.
Innovation and sustainability without a premium price tag.
Superior particle dispersion and placement.
A non-antagonistic tank mix partner.
Improves soil health. Reduces nutrient losses to local water bodies.
Plants take up sulphur from the soil as a sulphate ion via the soil pore water. Fertilizers based on elemental sulphur or thiosulfates must first be oxidized to sulphate for plant uptake and this process relies on microbial activity in soil.
A proprietary process micronizes molten sulphur through a pressure-controlled injection into a proprietary water/dispersant blend – resulting in spherical micronized particles with a median particle diameter of less than 30 microns.
Spray application translates into superior particle dispersion and spacing, resulting in faster microbial conversion and plant uptake. Once in the soil, SulGro™65 creates an environment of available sulphates within a week of application and supports sulphate availability evenly over the growing season.
For the crop producer, this means a faster return on the investment in high-analysis Plant Nutrient Sulphur (PNS).
Sultech is committed to demonstrating product performance through independent, multi-year, third-party, replicated field research. Trials conducted by Innotech Alberta, Alberta Agriculture & Forestry, Small Plots Inc and New Era Ag Technologies have shown rapid and stable oxidation to plant-available sulphates throughout the growing season. Sultech’s micronized elemental sulphur is found to outperform ammonium sulphate in adverse environmental conditions.
Below are results from the 2019 Canola Trial, involving five Alberta locations using a canola variety and herbicide program recommended for each specific geography. All products were applied as a pre-planting spray or banded at seeding.
Sultech is partnering with the Canadian natural gas sector to meet their sustainable development goals by minimizing the environmental impact of sulphur recovery and disposal. By strategically locating future manufacturing facilities next to sulphur recovery units, Sultech is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of sulphur disposal, while creating a sustainable agricultural fertilizer that improves soil health and reduces nutrient losses to waterways.
SulGro™65 is manufactured to the highest industry standards at a dedicated production facility in Crossfield, Alberta. Sultech is committed to your success as a high-performance grower or retail partner, and ensuring you know how to use our product to achieve the optimum results.
We are proud to stand behind SulGro™65, and are available to answer any technical or agronomic questions. You can be confident that we will resolve any performance-related issues in a fair and timely manner.

SulGro™65 | AMMONIUM SULPHATE (AMS) | |
|---|---|---|
| SEASON LONG AVAILABILITY | Yes | Available 4-6 weeks |
| APPLICATION TIMING | Spring. fall or foliar treatment | Primarily a spring application |
| PLANT AVAILABILITY (AS SULPHATE) | Approximately 7-10 days | Immediate |
| COST | Lower cost per unit of plant-available sulphate | Higher cost per unit of plant-available sulphate |
| FORMULATION | Liquid formulation (water suspension) | Granule formulation - prone to absorption and caking concerns |
| SEED SAFETY | Absence of seed damage concerns. No risk of ammonia toxicity or osmotic pressure. Can be safely applied in the seed row for greater flexibility in precision fertilizer applications | Potential for phytotoxicity and osmotic pressure |
| PERFORMANCE IN STRESS CONDITIONS | Superior performance in conditions of drought or excessive moisture Environmentally stable and water insoluble - meaning less risk of leaching | Sulphates are highly prone to leaching out of the root zones in excessive moisture/flood conditions |
| PACKAGING | Higher concentration means less storage space SulGro 65 (0-0-0-65) is sold in totes (115 metric tonnes) at a 65% analysis to deliver 750 kg of micronized elemental sulphur per tote | 210 kg ammoniacal nitrogen and 240 kg sulphate (450 kg total nutrients) in one metric tonne |
| PRODUCT SAFETY | No dust or risk of combustion | No risk of combustion Minimal dust with dust suppression coatings |
By suspending micronized elemental sulphur in an inert solution, SulGro™65 has completely eliminated dusting and combustion concerns. The result is worry-free storage, handling and transportation.
SulGro™65 can be safely applied side band or in-furrow using conventional equipment– including over-the-counter nozzles and slotted screens. SulGro™65 is a non-antagonist tank mix partner that may be applied alone or blended with other plant nutrients at variable rates as part of a balanced fertility or soil amendment program.
